So, were home, back in the UK, for a few days anyway! It's good to home and get to watch the Champions League Final tonight!

We're back to Glasgow International on Friday morning, heading out to Hugary for festivals in Budapest and Croatia. We have played in Hungary before early last year I think it was, a short tour, 4 gigs, which was a lot of fun, and, as it happens, the photo for this blogspot was taken during the gig at a club in Budapest on that tour.

We are there and in Cratioa until Monday, then home for a few more days until we fly out to the Faroe Islands with Jeremy Camp for a festival there and then it's straight back for Frenzy in Edinburgh. All good.

tonight was the last gig of the tour. Delta. PA. An amazing night, packed house, people travelled from a 50 mile radius to come see us play.

It was an amazing feeling to see and hear people, on mass, singing our songs back to us. 

Aside from the gig, we had a great day at with our friends eating 'Maryland Steamed Crabs' drinking cold beer and firing off a musket!!

Well, were ready to go home now for sure, but it's been a great tour, the best yet, by far.

Thanks you God for all the lives touched and changed forever.

Back in Delta. PA.  We got in last night about 1am. Looking forward to the gig tonight, the last gig on this tour and I think its going to be the best. Were expecting a good turnout and it's great to see people again that we know and have become good friends with.

Were ready for home now, flying out from Washington on Monday. Thinking about this tour, how great it's been, how God has moved at the gigs, kids saved, healed, etc....

Weve made so much progress this month here in the US with meeting promoters, agents etc.....we probably wont ever sign up with anyone, but its good to have the contacts there.

We are also deep in talks with a record label who are partnered with Universal and on top of that I've started writing the new record, and couldn't be happier  : )

so, here we are. It's 9pm and we just pulled in to Bedford. PA. So they tell us it's a haunted town!! Oooh...lets hope so....lol

So we have a day off today. Yesterday was a tough gig, only a few people, but we gave it everything anyway and had good times. Some people responded and that was good, we got to pray for people.

Were going to a place to play frisbee golf!! Also, I'm getting a haircut. Yeah baby.

just got into Mount Joy. PA. Some food at a 24 hour diner. Now were sdat in a street stealing some wifi!

Had a long drive today...10 hours, but we have had such a great time in New England. I spent most of my time talking to the CC pastor here about church and other such topics : ) Very helpful and amazing guy.

Ok, its 1am, me and mike are freezing our arses off sitting on this shop step...what is it....a trophy store!! You know, with those massive trophies you get for cheerleading!!

I've been writing a lot the last few days as well, new album really coming on now, loving it.

Ok, so we are now in Groton. We did our gig tonight, then went out for food.....the food was so bad! It was the worst food I have eaten for about 10 years....not kidding.

I watched FRISBEE today, fascinating. Also, we didnt eat for about 29 hours and have had no sleep since Thursday night. About to go to bed now. 

We are playing in 2 church services in the morning. Should be great.

ok......bed : )

Ok, it's 5.30am, I'm in a truck stop in PA...I think, maybe Ohio!! Who knows these things? Bus needed a repair, so we lost some time. Were heading east to Mystic in CT.

We've had a great few days.....me and Johnny standing out in the electric storm at 3am, soaking it up....amazing. God moving at the gigs, kids getting saved....so so good.

We did a gig in Hastings Michigan last night. It was to raise funds for a soup kitchen there, it was an amazing night, God really moving, people getting saved all over the place etc etc....Great time

I am truly knackered and need to sleep....yawn.

looking forward to gig tonight. Have spent most of last 2 days talking to a label, which is really exciting. News to come as things develop!!

peace out

Well, we just did our 3rd gig on this tour. It was in Grand Blanc in Michigan. It took a day to get here through West Virginia and Ohio. We crossed into Michigan at about 1am, pulled into a Panera Bread car park and slept till about 9am. We had breakfast in Panera Bread ( good coffee & free refills ). Well, not for the 1st time, within a few minutes, people were chatting away to us and before long, we had the merch out....selling cd's : )  You gotta love America!

Well, tonight was great. Great crowd, great hosts, 14 young people responded to the gospel and another 12 came forward to re-commit themselves to God, also 2 people sponsored kids through Compassion, so thats 10 so far....which is great. We just got back from Red Robin Burger joint, bottomless fries!! Oh boy!

Just got back on the bus to discover the water heating element has burnt out and a guy is on the bus fixing it....trouble is, the heater is under MY BUNK!!! No sleep for timmy!

We are heading further west in the morning, to Hastings, nr Lansing. MI.

I spent most of the day talking to a record label....can't say any more, but it's an amazing thing if it comes off.

I'm truly knackered.....I NEED TO SLEEP NOW : )

I'm thinking about Leeds playing 2nd leg of play off tommorow at Elland Road, wish I was at home and could watch it.....COME ON LEEDS.

Mikey ate more food at Red Robin than anyone thought was humanly possible!! He IS going to barf on the freakin bus. ( not for the 1st time ).

Johnny and Gav are playing Nerf Wars!! It's 2am....poo.

We went to the local IMAX last night and watched Star Trek....I hate Star Trek. But, they did mention Titan ( one of saturns moons ) so that cheered me up ; )

tc

Yay....we arrived in WV this evening. 22 hours travelling, must go to bed....MUST GO TO BEEEEEEEEED!! Now 4.40am UK time, radio interview at 8am US east coast time. Then rehersing all day with our ace new American keyboard player.
