We stayed one night at the B&B in Middlesborough. Cozy had some appointments in the city centre so Chris and I did some exploring. First stop was the Transporter Bridge
We drove up to the bridge and travelled across, then headed to Stockton where there were some music shops. I bought a new guitar strap for my bass at one, then headed into town where we spent some time chatting to the owner of Mad Dog Music, a shop for drummers. (I suppose the name says it all).
We collected Cozy then headed into Darlington to look at, you guessed it, some music shops before dropping off our bags at the caravan, our home for the next two days.
It used to be relatively easy to find paid work on a Wednesday, but the current economic climate means that clubs will only pay for a duo. Our agent was unwilling to set a precedent by putting us into a club for a fee that would just about cover our hotel bills, so we had the night off.
We drove up to Durham and spent the evening with Nicki and Tracy in a Weatherspoons.
The weather was very changeable. It didn't rain hard like it had on Tuesday, but it was hardly beach weather either. I was glad for the company, as I could sense the onset of cabin fever.
Ah well, another show tomorrow.
