We’ve been looking forward to today for a long time! Worked in the morning and then John & Pauline picked us up and we went to Bristol right in the town centre and checked into the Travel Lodge that we’d booked up. We immediately went out for a wander round and then stopped in one of the German Market stalls and had a beer and did a bit of shopping. On the way back to the hotel we stopped in a pub and had a couple of beers along with a very nice burger.
Back to the hotel for an hour’s rest and getting sorted, I snoozed and answered emails and then showered and shaved and ready to go out. Had another beer and walked into the town and the O2 arena to see Basement Jaxx again. The venue was quite small, smaller than Brixton Academy but the same design and style. The came on at 9.00pm and immediately opened up with Good Luck and we didn’t look back!! What a fantastic set, so much energy and dancing, I didn’t stop – I was soaking wet from sweating, I jumped and danced about for 90 mins non-stop.
Some people around us were steaming drunk and a bit of a pain but it was okay, they couldn’t ruin the night for us, we got to one row from the front in the end, it was so good, as good as the Brixton one, if not better!
Got some video during Where’s Your Head At which was pleasing…and then it was over! Everyone was buzzing and so excited by the performance. We went to the pub across the road and had a pint and then started walking back and could see some people taking some selfies and when we got to them we realised it was the band members!! Couldn’t believe it. So we asked if we could have a photo and they obliged and were lovely. They were pleased when we said how good they were and that we’d seen them in December last year.
We then went across the road and saw the lead singer with his girlfriend but we didn’t say anything and then went to the pub for a few more drinks! (There’s a theme here isn’t there?!?!) Posted on Twitter and Facebook and was admittedly disappointed that my Tweet didn’t get recognition, ah well!
Back to the hotel and guess what…we had a couple more beers in the lounge area and the girls got a pizza and then it was time for bed, an end to a lovely day that was really good fun.
We get on well with John and Pauline, they’re a great couple and we have a laugh.
