Franz Ferdinand in Manchester

Worked in the morning from about 6.00am and got a few things sorted and then from midday we set out to drive up to Manchester, the run was fine and without incident. Tash has a cold so slept pretty much all the way there, she’s struggling with it which is a shame.

Found the car park and Lewis was waiting and then we went and sorted the hotel before having a quick wander around town and then back to get ready. I quite liked what I saw of the place and would be more than happy to return and spend more time up there.

Went to the bar to get something to eat and have a few drinks. Went and found the venue (Albert Hall) and drank at Brew Dog next door – didn’t like that drink in there and then went inside. I liked it there and we continued to drink, Lewis and I were getting quite drunk indeed! He was paying his way, mostly, so that was really nice.

The concert is a collaboration between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks so it wasn’t full on FF but it was still enjoyable and they played some of the hits that we know, we all enjoyed ourselves and it was a good night. When finished we found another bar and had more drinks and then got completely lost on the way home, got a kebab and had to get a taxi back we were so lost and yet we were only x8 minutes away!

Crashed out in the hotel – a great evening
