The long haul -part three
After another breakfast at Morrisons we filled up with diesel (although it was expensive it wasn't as pricey as the motorway services- £1.50 a litre!)We then set off in convoy back to the M5 and up to a mining village in Derbyshire. We stopped a couple of times to try and sort out Cozy's phone which wouldn't charge the battery, and arrived in North Wingfield in the late afternoon. The club was closed so we parked outside what we thought was the stage door and waited for someone to turn up to open the doors. Eventually someone showed up and told us we were at the wrong entrance. The load in was a breeze, as we backed the van up to the stage door and it was about ten feet to the stage. We got set up in good time and relaxed with a cup of tea until we were due to play.
The show went really well. The audience loved Nicki and they crowded around her at the end of the night, having their photo taken and chatting away.
We loaded the van and headed home. My own bed....bliss!
