trip down to lovely B'ton to rehearse for the gig tomorrow...













we always rehearse at Monster, in an industrial estate just by Portslade harbour, just outside Brighton. When we arrived on the train there were still a couple of hours before the rehearsal was due to start so I walked through the very busy North Laines (it's the Brighton festival right now as well!) first all the way into Kemptown then back along the beach, got a lift from the others to Monster and then walked back along Hove promenade, so I essentially walked the whole of the Brighton and Hove seafront in total yesterday. Well, it was a lovely day and the air was so good... even though i felt a bit crap, it was a productive rehearsal, some new stuff, and we managed to agree on a fairly varied setlist that has an intriguing mix of old and new...

Nice to be in your (and my!) former stamping ground, eh Thomas?! (Or should that be mincing ground - lol). You always take the BEST pics - make the place look so gorgeous and seductive (which it is of course...)But where is Percival Terrace?!! And Spe- no!! NO!!! NO!!! Let's NOT go there.

Thanks for your kind words - didja get home ok on Friday? Fun night...

I took a set of pics of Percival Terrace and surroundings sometimes last year, was meaning to post them, i might still do that, it's always nice to go back, i try to do that almost everytime i go down, it's a little bit less frenetic out there, and still sooo familiar!
