After a good nights sleep in my own bed, I made breakfast. As of yesterday a mean flu-bug has been making the rounds and people aren’t looking too good! But, as the show must go on, we got back in our bus, said goodbye to Roetgen and made our way to Amsterdam to play at the Paradiso to support Annie. Amsterdam looked beautiful – just a shame we never had any time to check it out… I will have to come back at a later date I guess. Anyhow the show went very well for us – unfortunately we found out that the FOH sound was terrible during our show – due to technical reasons. Oh well, I guess you win some & you lose some! As soon as Annie was done with her show we packed up our gear and made our way down the motorway to get some of the travel to Paris over and done with… only to end up at the Holy Grail of all horrible motels: The Formula One… need I say more?!?!
