In 1978 Squeeze first played here at this festival and to be honest i remember little about it, apart from a few stories i cant repeat. All these years on and here we are on one of the many stages, on another Neil Diamond, again, and then there the sounds of Bush and the B52′s plus many other bands all making a noise in the vent of rock and roll, and cheese burgers. Back stage the bus and the crew bus, no food and no sweltering heat but heat enough. For the past few days all i keep doing is falling asleep, hours on end sleep pulls me to the ground of bed. The band likewise are napping for jesus. Its that time in the tour, its the mid week period. a great show took us from the dull bed heads we all carry like rock gods on heat. The audience were there for us and we for them we played in a new place tonight, very special form where i was standing. After the show, three bits of sushi in the car and off to the airport for a few hours on the while pillow of night. I woke up thinking that this road is not for me, i went to be thinking if only i could get the new song Tommy out of my head i might sleep. Outside an airport and a sack full havn’t i been here before. Welcome back. So pleased to see x tour manager Ross here at the venue, how three years can change your life in one smile. Our crew are on top form and they make a wonderful team, Grace loves working with them, so she should know. Gary our new TM is a top person, he does a great job being the diplomat and putting up with our eclectic ways of being. All good on the ground Captain ! Bed fred.
