12 hours to set up......2 hours show!!!

Preperation...Preperation...Preperation

We need this at every gig, it's to help Gav reach his microphone ; )

Derby date. 600 in that night. Great space for a show. Looking forward to getting the video footage later this week.

The road will do this to a man!!

Sky TV filming day. Twas freezing outside but roasting on set!

Gav spending some quality time with new bespoke pedals!

UK TOUR PHOTO DIARY

Pre tour studio session with Nick ( ee noo nars ), our totally awesome live sound engineer/monitor expert. We spent most of the day setting in-ear monitor levels.....much to tim's dismay!!

Hereford last night. I lived in Hereford for a few years, back in the day. Good to see some old mates.

Great to see young people responding to the gospel and getting excited about God.

Great time of praise, so amazing to see God move like that, people getting blessed. Our decision is to not 'lead' the worship, but to help create an environment where people feel free to express, contribute, take a lead....etc etc so so good, no passive onlookers just a big group of Jesus lovers sharing a moment in time together where God is among us.....amazing. More of the same tonight, can hardly wait.

Derby tonight.

Manchester tonight, the Venue Academy. Also playing was Phillipa Hanna and band. Good night, lovely people, great meatballs after the gig.

Another festival booking today also. North Fest!

Ok, cup of tea.

Here is a wee pic of us today singing EMERGENZA in the TV studio

Today I had to mime 2 songs for a TV show! It sucked! The journey to the studio sucked, the traffic sucked, the weather sucked, the studio was like a sauna....which sucked and the coffee sucked. On a positive note, George fixed my coffee machine, hoorah for George!

Mike forgot the keys for the petrol cap....that sucked! On a positive note, I dont have to get up at stupid o-clock in the morning. Staying in Yorkshire tonight. Playing at Manchester University tomorrow, really hope that the bar at the uni is showing the rugby.

Playing in Hereford on Sat and then Derbyshire on Sun, travel back through the night to Glasgow.

We have been booked for a festival in Belgium and also one in Norway, it looks like its going to be a 'fly a lot' year. I hate airports so much, I cant even think about it!

On a positive note....I wrote 2 great songs this month which will definately get on the new record. I've been reading Jurgen Moltemann's Theology of Hope and I've been thinking a lot about unity and how important it is that we dont get too caught up in local church activity that we start to forget about the bigger picture. My songs are going to be about unity......a lot!!

We don't have Nick, our sound man, with us this w/e.....which sucks!
