Due to the damage caused by the storm ”Darragh”, the ferries to and from Ireland were cancelled. That sucks. We were really looking forward to play Dublin. It’s always great there. Instead, we have an involuntary day-off in Milton Keynes.…
We got in the venue at 14:00, and usually the catering is ready. But not today. There was nothing to eat or drink until 16:00. Because someone at the venue ”forgot”. How nice. Had a meet-and-greet. Then got our buy-out…
The city of Def Leppard and David Coverdale. Another ice-cold venue. Instant coffee and sandwich for breakfast. Buy-out again, so we went to find a pub somewhere. Had a burger for dinner. Average. The show was fun. Rikard had a…
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…

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…
