The Charter Hall
A one-off gig with Shed 7. It's always nice to drive the A12 out to Essex.

They think it's all over...it is now. Last gigs are always a worry. You don't want to play badly or break seven strings. You want to play a storming gig in front of some great punters, get incredibly pissed and have a party in a hotel corridor until 7a.m. Thats what we did, thankyou to everyone who came and chatted and 'goodnight Vienna' Jez xx
Arts Centre
Aah the home of doctor Foster and a sold out venue, that's what we like. Great stage, nice staff, whisky binge until we were all shouting in true 'Father Jack' style. Only one more to go!? time flies when you're hammered.....
The Crypt
Ooh our aching heads, Had to indulge in a little chef for lunch when we eventually left our pit of despair.A brisk promenade along Brighton pier was the order of the day! Hastings was a bit windswept but a great town. the gig was great, the stage was so close to the fans we could smell them - they smelled better than us. the drive back to London was unremarkable except for the fact that we had a race with an Astra......AND WON!
The New Concorde
Brighton is a very stylish town full of beautiful people. We spent the day walking around the lanes holding hands and then eventually soundchecked when the PA crew found the power switch. We loved the venue and have also noticed the front row singing along with the songs (i'd better not forget the lyrics now!). FSM rocked and then invited us to a party at the hotel. We all got completely out of it, big Mike passed out.....they out-rocked us big time. I hear that Doug from FSM had a good night!?..
Wedgewood rooms
What a great night, The wedgewood rooms is a seriously good venue and the crowd were seriously up for it. We chatted to very attractive girls all night... Thanks to all the people who said hello, we love you all.
Arts Centre
Saturday night in Colchester is seriously Rocking. The venue is a converted church so we did our best not to blaspheme on stage. The crowd was well up for it and was moshing after the first song. My slight cold was cured by the sight of crowd surfing. We drove 200 miles after the gig to go to a party in Derby. We can't post any photos from this event as they all involve mike H and Mike W dancing like dads at a wedding. Footloose by Kenny Loggins was played.....say no more

Victoria Inn
Derby and Joan, isn't it or is it a horse race. Whatever it is it's also a town in the east Midlands that loves to rock! After a long drive from darkest Yorkshire we were flagging. Then we found out that we're shooting a video for our next single (tired of apologising) so we picked ourselves up and looked forward to the gig. To say the stage at the victoria is quite small is like saying the queen mother has 'quite' bad teeth. after our usual pie and chips (you have to eat healthy on the road) we discovered that Andy's keyboard had decided to die on us so the audience were treated to some astomishing percussion work by the semi mohicaned farrah key tinkler instead. we finished a stone lighter and happy...(it was, as usual very hot). The crowd were great and we recognised some familiar faces. Rock on Derby!
Boardwalk
After very little sleep the lads set off to Sheffield after first picking Mike up from the local (afternoon drinking is fun!). Rough would not really do justice to how everyone felt but as soon as "Roobarb and Custard" came out of the PA the Pavlovian switch of professionalism was flicked and the boys played a storming set...
Fibbers
After a long night at the Shed's party we finally awoke in our home town at around 1.30pm. The gig was absolutely rammed with a really good atmosphere, loads of our mates came along so we had a really good time. After the gig the news of a free party in some woods just outside of York spread like wild fire. Andy generously drove us past the police vans and we trekked down a long forest track until we came across a scene reminiscent of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"...if you know what we mean. Unfortunatley there are no photos of this event because every time we went back to the van we forgot to pick the camera up (and every thing else we'd gone for)! Mike was last seen heading for bed at 12.30pm the next day.....
Boatrace
Message to people trying to sell us punting trips down the river...... F*&K OFF! Cambridge is a big posh town with plums in it's mouth. For a change we got to the gig early and got taken out for lunch by our gorgeous and wonderful PR people Louise and Caroline. Mike even had a pudding (which he was never allowed as a child...all together now AHHHHHH) Mike had already eaten everyone elses leftovers. Mike the drummer ate 17 courses and finished off with a large slice of whale pie. (he has a tapeworm). The gig was astonishingly hot and rocking. It's probably our favourite of the tour. It was only marred by the fact that we had leave friends & family early to drive to up York to go to Shed 7's party - the night was a scream. Courtney Love was there and everything (she has a violent temper) we eventually crawled off to bed at 4am.
The Park
Hot hot hot,GOD it's hot. Peterborough is a town famous for lots of industries that aren't there any more, no matter because the kids wanna rock and they were treated to a veritable charlie Dimmock sized Rockery tonight. Really great crowd, nice curry at The India Gate (do we get money off for plugging a curry house?..) yet another long drive Life on the road eh, a different town every night you just gotta luv it
Chinnery
Apples and pears, kiss me quick, touch my whelks, what does it all mean? long drive through commuter hell to find a blue sky, a great venue and an appreciative (if not slightly distant) crowd. We liked the piggy back moshing, the gorgeous girls and the amusement arcades, we didn't like the long drive back. Food was supplied by Do Da's chippy which was basically an enormous miserable man trapped in a box full of lard... nice chips though
Roadmender
The Point
Ah....'twas a mighty hot day down in beautiful Oxford. Never mind the suits, the band were wishing they'd donned their shorts to play the gig (Andy actually did!). With perspiration streaming from them the boys played (although we say it ourselves) a storming gig - just goes to show, don't eat food before you go on (but a kebab afterwards is OK!) Cheers Oxford! Mike xx
Rock City
Nottingham, the 'City of Rock' was a great gig for us. Great crowd, great club, good dressing room. life is good. We recommend 'Selectadisc' for all your music needs. We had a bit of time to kill so we went to see Captain Corelli's Mandolin at the local cinema which was possibly the worst film we'd ever seen (although a good book). Look out for Farrah's film criticism page coming soon...Andy? We also heartily recommend The Munchbox on Radford road for having the best fry up of the tour so far...
Jurgen Center
Low key acoutic gig for a local charity. Highlights of the 1/2 hour farrah set include a power cut when somebody leant on the powerswitch. Of course the boys played on and impressed the crowd with just how loud they can shout 3 part harmonies.
Royal Holloway University
End of term do at the Student Union. Big stage so plenty of room for Mike's jazz pogo moves. Much of the audience couldn't wait for the DJ to put Britney Spears back on, but an appreciative crowd down the front seemed to love it.
University
Great Gig. A small but perfectly formed audience that soon warmed to the sounds of farrah. The momentary appearance of a moshpit was a farrah first.
King Tuts
A long, long drive but worth every moment trapped in a van with Mike's hangover as we arrived to play a sell out show. Great sound. Great audience.
Wulfrun Hall
Very Strange. Enthusiastic crowd. Big venue. Big stage. Big sound. Big hair.
