Well, the trip over to catch Glyder started with a text message from MrRob enquiring if I knew that the Answer were playing in Belfast the night after the Glyder gig in Ballymena – didn’t take long for me to convince him that the fair people of the Diamond bar were………..nutters I think was my phrase 
and that we should do it.

We were supposed to be taking a night off from gigs, but the pull of seeing Heaven’s Basement again was too strong. So we headed off to Stoke
Everytime we come to Sugarmill, we have a great night and tonight was no exception.
What a great gig – happily Rob & Donna got online & blogged before me so I’ve got away without saying too much – except sorry to the first three bands, I’ve had a meltdown with one of storage cards I used so have only managed to salvage the Heaven’s Basement pics.
Another great night out at the Civic in Wolverhampton to watch Heaven’s Basement. This time around they were in a support slot for Medina Lake and headliners Papa Roach. Both of these were new bands to see for me and after a cracking set from HB I checked them out…….Madina Lake, nice hair, crap music, thought the headliners would make me feel the same way – however, great attitude, cracking rock gig.
I had a great time this weekend, met up with Donna, Rob & Sabra to catch Heaven’s Basement in Wakefield on saturday, and spent sunday at Doncaster Pride but the whole weekend was kicked off by one of my highlights of the year – a quick trip over to Dublin to catch a Glyder gig.
Donna’s saved me the work of writing a blog for these pics but just wanted to add a big well done to Lynn & Mark and to all the bands who put a great gig on throughout the day.
A free event in Oswestry, which in previous years was held in the park. But this year was held in Town Square, with no-where to sit and chill. BUT we had a great day (Sabra and myself).
Great day spent with friends and some great music from Decadenze, Queensbury and Fury UK.

Well,you think you’re doing the right thing, you buy a couple of Tetrabyte drives to organise your photos into one place, and have a backup……….

After 2 weeks of being ill and after sitting some of her GCSE’s we decided Sabra could have a night out.
So we all headed over to Wrexham for a gig.
Well well well – a packed Barfly in Liverpool on a thursday night – why – well the HB boys were in town and ready to rock.
Great to see the guys back at this venue again, only a few pics here as I struggle with light levels and the “flame” background here every time
As MrRob says, recieving a request for pics for a magazine is tricky…….neither of us used any form of flash during the tour, not even to fill in a little so picking your favourite shots and picking shots suitable for print can be two very different tasks.
Now I’m home from the HB tour I’ve had the chance to look back at all the posts made by both Rob and I and there is one common factor – very few of the people who have made kind comments about them either on here, by email, on numerous other sites would not have done so if it hadn’t been for the hard work of Donna.
This was the last gig of the tour, and the guys relished playing it on a bigger stage – it was just a shame that there weren’t more lovely swiss people in to see them.
At the end of Thunder’s set in Prattlein for their last ever European show they invited Heaven’s Basement on stage to do “Gimme all your loving” – the guys had a great time, this was testement to how much the Thunder guys think of them, Chris the Bass player sporting a Heaven’s Basement T-Shirt throughout their set.
Tonight was such a great gig – I’ve run out of superlatives before even beginning the blog – this was a hard gig to photograph…….firstly because there was about 450 people in one of the smaller venues we’ve visited
so once you had a position you couldn’t really move around, secondly because the pit was full of guys taking video of the show (don’t know if HB will get any of this footage or if they were mainly setting up for Thunder) and most importantly because I spent far too much time enjoying the gig, jumping, dancing, singing along with a crowd that were clearly into the band.
