We start the day by waking up at the College and taking a group photo outside the front door. Everyone looked at me funny for choosing the blue waiting room looking foam chairs over the mattresses but it was super comfy. Would highly recommend it if you are crashing there.

We get to The Rebellion. Load in, set up merch, drop bags to the green groom space. We were sharing the space with the lovely lads in Thousand Below. Craig drew onto a drum skin and all the lads signed it. Now finding all the members to sign something isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Benji will be off having a cig, Matt will be hunting for crisps, James will be staring at his drums somewhere. It’s always a task for the lads to be in one place. The toilets indoors were being refurbed so there was a row of portaloos in the smoking area, and a festival urinal. That was odd.

Shooting this show was a laugh. Again like the night before there wasn’t a photographer’s pit so I was right in the crowd. If you see me at shows in the crowds you’d probably just hear me going ‘Excuse me, sorry, I just need to get through here, thanks’ like 100 times. I try not to stay in one spot too long so I don’t affect anyone's experience of the show. I even took lots of lovely photos of our handsome sound guy Ben.

After the show, we had the decision whether to drive to Newcastle for a place we could stay at before Glasgow or sleep 9 of us in a van that should only sleep 6 in a service station and save a few hours driving. we chose the latter. It was a very cosy night in the van at the service station. The floor of the van was less comfortable than the blue waiting room chairs. And to be woken up in the night by Craig grabbing my nose in his sleep, that was fun haha.

Enjoy the video and photos below. Next stop Cathouse Glasgow!
