Woke up with pain in my left-hand knuckles. Doesn’t help that the venue is really cold. How come these British venues don’t have functioning heating? Late breakfast/early dinner was instant coffee and a sandwich with guacamole and cheese. Feels like…
Today we’re at The Old Fire Station, which coincidentally, used to be an old fire station. Cool place. Sandwich for breakfast, no coffee in this venue. Practiced for a bit. Felt good after not having touched the bass for a…
Had to get up at 6:00 in the morning for border control, but it was surprisingly smooth. Sandwich and instant coffee for breakfast. Really cold in the venue. Tom’s birthday today. His daughter came to surprise him and some other…
Beautiful venue today. Good coffee, tasty sandwich. Went and bought some cold medicine, painkillers and throat pills. Guess it’s my turn to have issues with my in-ears. Getting different levels of the instruments for some reason. Realised now that it…
Did nothing much today either. Hmm, I’m sensing a theme here… Been coughing all day. Headache, too. Managed to get some practicing done. Dinner was quite good. Fried potatoes and pork-something. What felt like an impossible mission (the show) actually turned…
Cold dressingroom. In fact, so cold they had to put in space heaters and the staff wore hats and jackets. Sandwich with guacamole and cheese. And good coffee. Watched a movie. No soundcheck. No practicing. Just tired. Schnitzel for dinner,…
After a very slow day off, we’re back at it. Some minor nuisances, like sore throats and colds, so we’ll see how this goes. Breakfast consisted of the usual, coffee and sandwich. The coffee was really good. Didn’t really do…
Decided to sleep for as long as I possibly could. That turned out to be 14:30. Got up, the only other people on the bus were the two drivers. Found a sandwich, watched a movie. Took a short walk. Found…
Slept really late, think I woke up at 13:30. No fever, but there’s something in the back of my throat and nose. We’ll see what happens. Did absolutely nothing today. Sat on a couch the whole day, drinking hot water…
Grey and rainy. The usual for breakfast, coffee and sandwich. Slightly below average, I’d say. Practicing the (you guessed it!) Bach Cello Suites. That’s probably the only thing I will practice in the foreseeable future. Penne Bolognese for dinner. Very…
