Germany & Holland 2019

Let me introduce you to the supporting artistes, Blackbird and Crow whose new album ‘Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam Talbot’ is on sale at the swag stand.

As you can see the record contains explicit swear words and on the reverse side there is a warning that says ‘May contain nuts’

Tracklisting

You can keep your hat on
Baby it’s cold outside
Take it in your hand Mrs Murphy
Ring my bell
Shave me
Down under
Me and you and a dug named Fido
You shook me all night long

That is all.

Freddy Mercury once said ‘Get on your bike and ride’ .

Well that’s exactly what I did this fine morning and now I feel EPIC.

Actually, I don’t, I need to lie down.

That is all.

19 Mar 19. Wurzburg – Fuel Stop

Tour bus was mobbed by a rabid fan looking for autograph and selfie. She was convinced Simon was Rod Stewart. The Faces in the back got ignored as usual.

That is all.

16 Mar 19. Freiburg

We return to the famous Jazzhaus where we played 19 years ago on the Rolling Stones tour.

Big thanks to the guys at BTM guitars for repairing the broken ‘KLM’ strat and for selling us a lovely triple play strat as a spare. Without their help the tour would have been in jeopardy instead of Germany.

That is all.

Band dressing room

What sort of depraved person books Big Country to play an S&M club? I have attended some interesting venues in my time, but this is torture 😵

Why anyone would want to sit in a fully working ejector seat is beyond me. There are some sick individuals out there boys and girls.

That is all.😉
