So after a lovely sleep on the van floor in a Tebay services. We raided the shop to see what food was on offer before making our way to Ben’s flat for a freshen up in Glasgow. Now it wouldn’t be a trip to Glasgow without seeing one drunk on the street picking fights with randomers. Luckily he didn’t give us any hassle.

Once we were all showered and ready we set off for the Cathouse. Pulling the van up on the busy street, taking shifts of watching the van while the others walk up the endless amounts of steps to the gig room. It was the right work out I won’t lie. Once load in was done, and sorting out the lack of space for merch a few of us popped out to KFC for a snack before the venue supplied us was some amazing burritos after the boys set.

I loved having a barrier at this show. It allowed me to move around a lot easier than the two previous nights. Stage access was great to reach James for drum shots. The only challenge was ducking near the front more than the other venues to not block people's view too much. Thank god for the barrier steps. The boys smashed it as always. Caught Craig doing a guitar spin on film, that’s in the video. After the boys set I shot a little for Thousand Below before going to the green room for a beer and to edit. Not many people know that most tour photographers edit straight after the set for an instant turnaround. I prefer doing this so I can rest in the van and I’m not having to look at a shaky laptop screen. We had to be in Southampton the next day. I know what you’re thinking. It was over 400 miles. We drove back to Leeds to crash at Chris’s before making the rest of the trip in the morning. Shout out to Sim for being a soldier of a van driver.

Next stop Southampton!
