In September & October 2023, we took to the road in the UK to introduce our new album STARLITE.ONE. Lunch with legends & a gig at the Eel Pie Club. This is part 12 of the warts-and-all-account.
Damn … a long hard day that was… fortunate you did have a lovely time with friends… I love your passion and endurance, and I am very glad you continue on… I do feel the pain … I hope one day somewhere to see you live.. and I will be there from load in to load out. All the best to you both ✌️❤️🎶
Yeah, as you don't need me to tell you (but of course, I'm about to...) your Eel Pie experience/s is a good (or not so good) one-gig summation of what so many bands in the UK are finding/ suffering/ gettig caught out by.
It's also why, whenever possible, if I'm heading to a gig (whether in a promotional/ support capacity or just to enjoy), I get there early to see if I can help; over the last year alone I've been loading in, loading out, on a merch desk or three, ensured (i.e. personally went out and bought) snacks/ sandwiches/ soft drinks were in the dressing room (#anotherriderignored) and even stage managed a gig.
Throroughly enjoying these Touring Diary articles!
