The Continuing Adventures Of Big Red or A Red On The Road

Howdy.

Ok, to pass the time I thought I'd do a kind of tour diary documenting my coming month on the road working for rock legends UFO.

Day 1 has got off to a slightly surreal start with me currently sat in Schiphol International Airport in Holland watching skiing on tv with a crazy Mexican who speaks very little English and we're communicating in increasingly loud voices and extravagant arm gestures.

I wonder what You'll Never Walk Alone sounds like in Mexican. Or Spanish.

I think his name is Pedro.

Seriously.



Only 3 hours to my connecting flight to Hannover and those crazy Germans.

Sweet.

3 hours in Schiphol you say? Not too sure I would have stayed in the Airport - plenty of time to 'visit the city' in that time.

Looking forward to your tour diary.

Lock up your daughters!


Nice one BigRed.

Have a cracking time, Robb, looking forward to hearing about your antics over the coming weeks!

Do you think you'll be doing a repeat of what appeared to be a Full Monty routine I saw in your brother's photos on Facebook?

Shocking!

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the urge of seeing men in thongs!

Hello all

Firstly thanks for the Facebook adding from forumers

Ok, day 3 here and we're officially in the arse of Germany in a place called Annaberg-Bucholz. Some kinda youth hall in the middle of nowhere but it'll be a good night i reckon.

Didn't get a chance to go online during yesterday in Bochum but it was interesting none the less First night gig glitches like faulty guitar rigs and monitor problems but it came good in the end.

Few photos here from today so far.

Very nice pictures there Robb. How much fun are you having! Envious of you!

In case you haven't noticed mate I've added you on Facebook under the name Charles Carragher!

Here's a couple of on the bus pics...

Here's my view right now

Good stuff mate. Hope you're having a fantastic time.

Must be terrible if someone drops one when you's are bunked up trying to get some kip.
