Tour diary - UK - March 2004 - Day 7

March 7, 2004

Academy 3, Manchester

We were in a hotel yesterday. Mmmm... hotel fresh. It can't last.

Matt mistakenly tried to board Gareth Gates' tour bus this morning. Would have been a hell of a story, but his key didn't work.

Here we are at Manchester University. We've very nearly outgrown the Academy 3. The band has certainly outgrown the stage, which requires tetris-master skill to just get everything and everyone on. The fact there are two other bands is just heartbreaking. But luckily it's not my heart that has to worry about it.

It's always nice to play in Manchester - they always seem up for it from the start of the evening. It's great to have a sense of familiarity with the audience, like you're old friends.

Still tinkering with the set.
