just back from mastering the new record at Abbey Road…spent the night on the floor at Gatwick Airport…a great leveller

We hit the dressing room at half time in Waterford last night and were greeted by the most wonderous sight…

Thank you, thank you to Master Bakers Esme and Ruah for the apple cake (moist, correct amount of cinnamon, no dried fruit to annoy Dominic…) and the wonderfully iced sponge cake (not a Victoria sponge, as I was sternly corrected…)


So we’re back out and battling the elements in Ireland South Westish…and like a big warm hug, Mrs Phil Soundman made us a teacake for halftime refreshments

Now, I wouldn’t normally be a fan of the brack, or similar Christmas cake and the like, and Dominic has very strong feelings about the use of raisins or sultanas or any dried fruit in a confection…but this was very lovely and most welcome. Thank you thank you.

In Clonakilty Ray burst into the dressing room at half time, having just been made aware of the high stakes involved, swept aside the commendable selection of biscuits and offered a homemade Pumpkin Pie I think it was. It was a strange beast…bang of the korma offa it. Savoury. Weird.

The night spun out in a whirl of pints and that most traditional of Clonakilty offerings – the Sambasco (Sambuca & Tabasco…). Thanks for looking after us so well. Yissir a gem


A gentle morning in Cork…oh yes, Dominic had some thoughts on last night’s Mikado…

the elements being plain biscuit, marshmallow, coconut and jam work together, but individually have the pox. Hmmm. Thank you, thank you by the way for coming out to these gigs. We’re having a good time…


Here at the Set Theatre in kilkenny they baked biscuits special for us…this thing has taken on a life of it’s own

Thank you Newbridge! During the intervals we take tea in the Green Room…we ask that biscuits be provided, and that they be well appointed. Last night – fair to middlin’
