BACK AT THE O2 ACADEMY...

Pre Show
As I write this I'm getting ready for our show tomorrow night at the o2 Academy in Leicester. My last time there was Prime supporting Electric Six, which was great fun (there's pictures online of me sporting my fabulous metallic gold sports jacket ... I bought it from a sports store in the Canary Isles with my buddy #HeelJon.  Anyway, this time I'll probably be looking a little bit more subtle, playing alongside Chris Bramley and his band of merry men. TRAPS, the Leicester dance/indie band are responsible for the booking. Having enjoyed blasting out their music on the way back from Cardiff with Chris last month, they clearly deserve this showcase.

Post Show
I had a great time performing last Saturday at the Leicester o2 Academy. It's been a while since we performed supporting Electric Six, and this time the pressure was off as local band TRAPs took the headline slot for this, and did a very good job too. Delighted for my buddy Chris Bramley and his band too, for their first gig together, and on a stage like this, I was very impressed indeed. Lovely lads and it was a pleasure to get to know them on the run up to the gig. It's not hard to get up for a show with people like that on stage... But beer and Jack Daniel's helped too. It was a nice audience too and they can carry on stroking my ego as much as they want! (Leicester always is, nice people, they tend to be far more approachable than Notts audiences). I also enjoyed chatting to Derbyshire/Notts band the Lapels, and I shall go and hang out with them at their show at Alberts on 21st March for a beer or two. They had a very slick, professional edge, and a 60s mod sound and style to boot, for once I felt underdressed, rocking the latest Prime UK Band t shirt in mercurial black and white (available from prime4.bandcamp.com).... I've also had a f***ing shave since, and it was about time.
