Mike McShane and the tour
Saturday, 25 April 2009
Been really enjoying the tour! But feel I should say a quick thanks and sorry to those in Cardiff, for being kicked out so quickly after the show. The whole idea of created 2 limited edition EPs (1000 of each) and not putting them in shops, only releasing them via gigs is a way of giving you some music (that I'd usually keep to myself) by way of saying thanks for the support. So I was a bit pissed that you got kicked out quick and we didn't really get to hang out for long...next time....Went out for dinner last night with Joanne after the show at the Camden Crawl, to a place called the Chocolate Factory. It's a really great place near London Bridge, good food, good beer and a good vibe. on top of the, as we were about to leave, in walked Mike McShane (most notable for Whose Line Is It Anyway)... through a very bizzare turn of events, Joanne got introduced to him, so we ended up talking for a while. Really interesting and funny guy. He knew a lot more about Irish writters than I did which was a tad embarassing, being that he's from San Fransisco and I'm from Ireland, but there you go.
Up in Oxford tonight (in fact between the last sentence and this one I've just done a phone interview with BBC Oxford...livin' the dream :/ ). It would seem there are only about 10 tickets left so if you're planning on going you should book now. In fact the same goes for the second night in Belfast, just a few left... keeping you in the loop.
Right, I'm off to have a shave and a shower (the latter is much needed)... see you soon.

Jeff Currie replied 2 days after.Hey Foy, just started reading your blog. These things are bloody great with keeping up to date with whats happening on tour etc. Keep at it man.
Was over last week myself and ended up in a wee pub down London Bridge area with this huge ship outside it beside Southwark Cathedral? Check it out, seems a great wee spot and beers pretty cheap!
Anyway, looking forward to seeing ya in Spring and Airbreak next monday, should be a crackin show along with Lowly Knights! Maybe catch you for a quick beer after?
Take care
Jeff
