We were supposed to play a venue called The Scene in Swansea tonight. Turns out, the "City Council" shut the venue down. We played there once before, and the place was admittedly lackluster at best. Not a total loss. Stayed in London, got some laundry done, and had a good party at the Six Bells.

Hauled it from London to Crumlin, Wales to play one of our favorite venues in the world, The Patriot. We had a blast! The place was packed and rocking like usual! Saw some old friends and made some new ones! This has just about become our home base gig. Hope the show set the tone for the rest of the tour!

Back to south London, hell of a traffic mess, but we made it to the gig just in time to set up, sound check, change clothes and go on. Turned out to be a really fun show…lots of comedy and the show went way off the set list. Our good buddy Stretch Sickle came out and played mandolin on our version of Copperhead Road. Great crowd! London continues to be our stronghold on any tour we do over here. Had some younguns in the audience sporting SM T shirts!

Off today. Laid up in a London hotel, went to a South Indian restaurant and had a good meal. Looks like a "get organized" day tomorrow. It being Father's day made us that have kids miss them, of course, and our dads as well. Took some goofy pictures of us on the streets of London, and were just being lazy in general.
