Time for Tim!


This is Tim, our Tour Manager. Tim did all the driving on the tour, did all the accommodation booking, all the set up and plugging in all the boxes and leads and other technical stuff that I don't understand, manned the sound desk for the cabaret and the band, taking everything apart after, loading the van (often while we were all getting pissed with Jazzbadger's groupies), driving us miles in the dark on rollercoaster country roads to our accommodation (and didn't crash!), made sure we caught all the early morning ferries and flights, somehow survived on 3-6 hours sleep a night and last but not least, put up with a noisy smelly minibus full of us numpties. And amazingly, he was always cheerful and happy, great company and good chat, and even took us on wee mini-guided tours to see the sights in places like Mull, Orkney and Shetland.

What a saint!

Thank you Tim!


(And of course thanks also to Dave who provided this role for the Forres leg of the tour, which I've almost completely forgotten now! Thanks Dave!)

Reading material for the journey


... Featuring a foreword by Sir Clifton Sainsbury

Never read reviews...


We made the Press & Journal! Hopefully I'll get some copies of the other shots taken at the pre-show photocall.

Eden Court Theatre


Featuring the Very Old Bit That Looks Like A Hammer Horror House to the right; the Oldish Bit That Looks Like The Crystal Maze in the middle and the Brand New Bit That Looks a Bit Stupid just out of shot to the left.
(Jokes aside, they've done an amazing job at ECT- it's a fantastic facility. Even if the new bits look awful from the outside!)

View of the River Ness


Featuring the magically half invisible ghost car of Inversneck giving Nessie a run for her money.

What's the story...


... As promised, here's my attempt to capture the Bala-glory of Tobermory. Taken in haste en route to pub for dinner.

Night off at home


Tomorrow is the last show of the tour, and tonight we have a night off home in Glasgow. I'm spending the evening watching telly and playing Scrabble with my nearest and dearest.
