We drove to Plymouth for a day off. Thank goodness for that, I was up far too late last night with Mike Moran but it was worth it. I think.

Had an early meal and watched the England/Japan friendly match with Bruce, Griff and Cliff.

Tomorrow, I will change all the drum heads. With the show being filmed in Cardiff, I need a couple of days to play them in.

A beautiful sunny day. Walked to Plymouth Hoe. I’ve been coming here for years and have never had the time to look around. In fact, like most of the places I've visited throughout the world, I have never had the time. It’s been airports, hotels, theatres, buses, interviews etc. etc.

The show was great but the new heads where uncomfortable to play.

During the last 4 numbers of the show, a pretty young blond girl got up and started dancing, something I’d never ever seen before at a Shads concert. After a while, there were about 50 people dancing in the aisles. Rockin!

Tonto, the sound engineer from our rehearsals in Fulham came to see us as he lives here. He came on his amazing scooter he had been telling us about. He’s quite mad you know!
