I wish I'd kept a record of all the gigs I've been too. I've got 90 per cent of my tickets still, but probably the majority of gigs I've been too I've either just paid at the door or been on the guestlist.

oh man can't believe you guys have actually written up every gig you've been to. now that's dedication It isn't difficult though, you just pop open an excel file and type a few words in a couple times a month. |

GOLDEN DAYS JP if you ever see Rob and the boys again (I probably wont) please ask them about their one and only visit to Minnesota, when 35 faithful showed up and they went to a local pizza shop with a drunk curly haired kid and his friends. We 21 years old yet so in order to get served alcohol we had to "pretend" to be part of the band and use fake English accents. We then were invited back onto the bus but had to leave shortly afterwards as Danny from Embrace was apparantly having issues with his lady back home and was angry about all the commotion. best night of my life tbh. ;D I'm sure it's one of the best memories of their career |

Nah  They changed their name to Little Ze for the last year or so I was seeing them, then for a year occasionally they'd have a gig in sheffield but it's over now. Had some great times with that band, I know the album was done and finished, really should pest a few people for it cos I know people who have a copy. |

I remember leaving McCartneys set as I couldn't be arsed and was fucked, walking past the film tent to get back to mine and seeing some kind of porn on. All I could hear in the background was the outro to Hey Jude over and over and over again |

yeah thats the one. They've moved the tent now, it's near the acoustic stage so never see it anymore. They also scrapped the outdoor cinema field, real shame tbh. |
