SCUNTHORPE!!

Well It had been a while since we'd seen our friends at the Lincoln Imp in Scunthorpe, so we decided to pay them a visit and to play them all the songs from our new album. After a long 5 hour journey in a mini bus (coz we couldn't get a transit :) and thank you to Noog for driving! he's a star! we arrived at our destination greeted by a room full of friendly faces, as usual. Everything was well organised, the soundcheck went smoothly and we were glad to be there.

We were supported by local bands, who got a bit of a buzz going, and though the place wasn't packed out, the people there were a great crowd! very enthusiastic!... and leading them were loyal Sal fans Will, Gary and Stu who were last seen sleeping on Noog's floor after a Sal gig in Barfly, Cardiff! It was great to see you guys and to meet your lovely partners and friends! Thanks guys!

The new songs went down really well! especially Conversations With My Therapist, woo hoo! plenty of copies of the new album were signed along with a signed T-Shirt for a place on the wall in the very popular local Music Shop, right next to Skunk Anansie's Tee :o)

We said goodbye to our friends at the Lincoln Imp and promised to return next year, and left the venue not long after midnight. We stopped in a garage for snacks for the journey home om yom yom. Chris being the perfect bass player that he is kept Noog awake by talking to him about his favourite subject, recording, all the way home. Awwwwwwwwww...
Den was in the back with the girls me and Hala (Sal photographer, friend, and Chris' other half :)
but I think we did more sleeping than talking about fashion this time.... I probably shouldn't have had a new memory foam mattress put on my bed the night before the gig! anyways that's another story!

Thank you Lincoln Imp for having us back! Sorry we didn't to the cover of 'Diamonds are Forever' you so wanted at the end :o) We will come back again and do it for you! What's that I hear? the boys shouting "NOOOooooooooooooooooo" :o) but Catrin always has her way ;op
