Friday July 16th- Sacriston



After a late night eating takeaways, we had a lie in and a late start into town to Morrison's for breakfast. After that we drove to the city centre and had a walk around the music shops. Then we went on to Durham to meet up with Nicki, Tracy and Bob at their hotel. Soon it was time to head off to Sacriston, a short drive away.
We arrived in very good time and loaded in and sound checked. Then we visited the local takeaways for our evening meal.
Chris and I had fish and chips, Bob and had an Indian, while Nicki and Tracy had chinese.
Soon it was time to start the show. Despite the fact that a significant portion of the crowd had gone to a show at the Sage in Gateshead, those that remained had a great time and were dancing from the first song. There were a few who had seen us at other clubs so it was like playing to friends.
All too soon the show ended and we loaded up the van ready for the long drive home.
There were hugs and kisses all round, and yet another rebooking for next year.
Chris drove the 200+ miles home, stopping at Woodall services for tea and refreshments.
We dropped Cozy off at about 4.30 and arrived home at about 5.00
Today is a rest day, time to sort the washing out, pick up some bits and pieces, change some guitar strings and get ready for tomorrow's show at Welshpool.
We need to be there early, so Tracy has booked a cottage to stay in and we'll go over there tonight to save an impossibly early start in the morning.
