May 15th Chepstow, Wales,16/17th London

We started this week with a gig in Tiger Lounge on monday in manchester which was nice, cosy and local, we perform there the 2nd monday of the month if we dont have a booking out of town so its a nice base for us to get friends down and we had a few there that night so it was a good catch up. Thursday saw us off to Wales, myself and Scarlet O'Harlet were performing in the show at Liquid in Chepstow for our friend Joe from The Graveyard Johnnys. We had my fellow party partner in crime Sophia with us too so we were all up for some fun and games. We got there early so treated ourselves to a couple of pints of cider and black and a few games of pool in our favourite chepstow haunt the 5 alls, weve done gigs here in the past and the chepstow lot Ali, Joe, Lucy and Tom are wicked and always up for a party. This was the first time in ages I've felt a bit nervous because I had some friends coming down from Cardiff to see the show for the first time and although that doesnt normally bother me I really wanted them to like it. We headed to the venue and had a laugh in our super small dressing room the size of a toilet cubicle or something until the gang Pritch, Porno Paul and Dan arrived. we had a few drinks and caught up before show time. We did a full half hour set between the two of us mixing up solos and duets. The club was pretty quiet but the small audience that was there loved it as did Pritch and the boys so all was good, I heard him cheering and shouting support through the gig anyway so i knew he liked it bless him! Now all that was left was to head to Cardiff to party the night away!! Sadly Scarlet had to go back to manchester as she was catching a flight to Ireland the next day for a weekend away so myself, Sophia and the guys headed off to party!! Many drinks later all thanks to Dan i think and I have little scattered memories of random moments.. me and Pritch doing drunken box splits in revolution bar and sophia dancing to girls aloud and bizarrely knowing all the words in walkabout haha oh dear, I swear she has a super memory for lyrics to every pop song in the world and shes not even into pop music! As always when drunk me a Sophia thought it would be the perfect time for a photo shoot!! oops. I thought I looked pretty sexy that night too haha obviously not!!

The next day we were off to London for a party weekend and our friend Emma's birthday, we drove down with Dan and Daffyd who were off to London for the FA cup final, come on Cardiff!
Needless to say a weekend of drunken debauchery followed but all in good fun! Emma had a good birthday, sadly Cardiff lost to Portsmouth we all got very drunk playing drinking games in Shoreditch and met many an interesting randomer. The girls and the guys all left sunday morning so me and soph rounded the weekend off with a chilled day out in Camden, pub crawling around all our favourite venues and getting the best chinese food in the world on the markets before heading back to Manchester tired but content.
