I can honestly say that last week wast the best in my life ever. The whole experience was magical. From start to finish, spending time chilling, jamming and drinking with the most awesome people you could ever hope to meet, I love you guys....cant wait to do it again.
To the guys from St Ives who travelled up to the Corn Exchange, you are awesome and you fricking rock.... Huzzah!!!!
There are far too many highlights to mention ( I cant type as fast as Heather!!!!) but drinking mighty fine Cornish ale, stroking cows, twins, Randall on 6.5, sleeping under the stars at the "cliff top bar", Liverpool winning the Charity Sheild, jamming with Justin on the acoustics, eating a fried breakfast everyday, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol with no hangovers, getting to know our awesome new drummer, getting mashed in Newquay, proudly wearing our tour shirts and playing my custom painted ibanez are just some.... in no particular order.
I have got to say a massive thank you to Heather for organising the whole tour, you are awesome. I keep getting this warm tingly feeling coz this band feels like family, might have been the sourz, aftershocks sambucas and tequila's though!!!!!!. Its kind of weird getting back to normality and getting some blood back in my alcohol system!!!!..
The tour is over but I cant stop grinning...
will we do it again?......
absolutely!

John was crouching on the stage during one song and one over enthusiastic girl bit him. Like REALLY bit him! And didn't let go! He's got a mouth shaped bruise on his leg. That's a scary way of saying hello!
We arrived in Camborne and John went in to find out about parking while we waited in the cars. He came back and uttered the words "It's fucking massive!". He was indeed correct. It had a great stage, lighting, etc. We sat in the other bar gawping at the A0 size poster with our mugs on! Gosh!
We went on at 10.30pm and apart from having the kick drum moving forwards all the time on the wooden floor, it was problem free. During Jetplane, Indesit and Hot stripped down to bermuda shorts! It's the first time I've seen Justin wearing clothes that weren't black, and certainly the first time I've seen him with so little on! The audience should be grateful though.... he was going "commando style" and almost mooned. The DJs who were waiting to play after us were bemused by the shorts escapade which was then followed by Justin climbing ontop of Paul's shoulders whilst they played. Well, we like to be different!
We made sure we got photos with the St Ives contingent before they had to dash off in their taxi. Apparently they've got photos of us all over the pub along with posters that they'd got us to sign. Thank you SO much guys, it was awesome! We are really quite choked up that you made such an effort to see us again.
It was very very funny when Eric the duck came out for the Scissor Sisters song. Kids flocked to the stage and it looked like John was a kids entertainer. Its a definite alternative career he could consider.
The pub was rammed and we had a good mosh pit happening. They got a bit carried away, fell on people, stomped on our monitor smashing a cable connection, the cable got ripped out of the lights pedal and beer was spilt everywhere.... but they enjoyed themselves.
We were feeling abit silly and giggling by then. "We need hats" says Indesit and so the silliness got more silly. I found a fantastic wig too so wore my big red sparkly hat with a long red curly wig. Very subtle. Scarily Indesit looks better in that wig than me.
I sustained a band injury. The post gig balloon bursting body charge was carried out but after three charges with Justin, the balloon was still in tact. Indesit and I have a 100% record so we went for it. The balloon burst but I fell back and bashed my hand on the light unit. My thumb went black and swelled up like a pudding almost immediately. So I sat with a bag of ice round my hand while the rest of the band packed up.
We got to our base for the week at Watergate Bay at about 1am and then sat on the cliff overlooking the beach, drinking beer and chatting. We got to bed at about 4am.
We get asked alot where Hoover got his graphic equalizer t-shirt from. Well he got it as a leaving present at work. However we have found it on the internet, so to put you all out of your misery, you can now go and buy yourself one at
We visited Brixham for the first time on Saturday, to the Bolton. It was a very hot and sticky night and we were sweaty before we'd even soundchecked. Tracy had been buzzing all day (well... all week actually) with it being her
