Default Touring Question Brian/Jimmy.

Just been looking at some youtube clips of Tallinn,what a beautiful city.Was thinking that it must be really frustrating sometimes to visit wonderful locations and only see the hotel,tour bus and venue or do you try to get out and about.

Its OK Tom, I'll check it out on their behalf - just this Morning I've booked to go on 2 separate Stag do's (bachelor parties Fi) to Tallinn, one in May and one in June. Gunna do a day trip to Helsinki too whilst there in May. Never really been to that part of the world so looking forward to it. Can't guarantee we'll be seeing the sights though but apparently we're going AK47 shooting and to tour a prison!?!

Cheers

Paul

always full of good intentions that usually amount to nothing.

but it is true to say that our lifestyle on the road is like working nights. Once we've come off stage and we've met the usual loonie army for a few drinks afterwards, it's usually about 5 am. So we do most of our sleeping during the day. or we travel overnight and chill out at the hotel ready for another show that night.

it's not really ideal when it comes to tourist schedules.

Others probably make more of an effort than me.

I'll go out if I know someone who lives in the town we're playing.

Thank you Tom, this is a very good clip.
I believe that guys find time to walk around town, I read the newspaper that they arrive tomorrow.

I'm very excited.

Helgi - it sounds simply glorious....may they all arrive safely ...may the sun shine ...may they have enough rest ..and get time to go around ...it looks just lovely.......may you meet them and have a great time...may you write us a FULL review ...

and may you send them healthy and happy to the next gig and the next and the next...

PS Duncan is very delicate - give him special treatment ...remember not to approach him very suddenly and jam yourself down firmly next to him and ask to take a photo with him unless you have a camera ...

Remember that Dunc the Hunk's honeycomb voice can cause young ladies (and older ones) to faint ...so have strong perfumes to hand for health and safety

If you follow these instructions...all will be welll
