7th - 10th September, 2010:

"It's Wersonal"

These were the words said by a large scary dog in a park in Bristol to Sam (our drummer) when he came back to finish him off. Never has one man been more scared of a dog. Bits of this story may been fabricated.

We're on tour, and things have been going well. We played London on Tuesday, Bristol on Wednesday and now we're in Liverpool for our gig tonight at Mello Mello. We've just come out of the Beatles museum where we saw the words Reeperbahn Festival.

THESE WORDS are significant for the following reason:

We are playing this very festival (where the Beatles once played) in Hamburg on 24th September. We are very excited about this. I've said the word "Reeperbahn" more in the last week than I previously had in my entire life. Admittedly, this wasn't too difficult.

ANYWAY! Back to the tour. We've seen some things which have blown

our tiny little minds. Eg, the day after our gig in the Mother's Ruin in Bristol, we went to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Ade demonstrated his previously unearthed love for Isambard Kingdom Brunel by quoting a few stats. All whilst wearing a tiger hat. Please see the next couple of pics for a right good time, yeah?

Here are four un-showered men, Bristol, Wednesday.

Ade doesn't have his tiger hat on here, and we think this is an important measure of a man (interpret that how you will...) so...., brace yourselves......, here it comes:

Man in hat. For all to see. Another

thing we got out of Bristol was the word Gurtlasssshh. Which is Bristolian for good. Apparently. Graham loves it, Sam hates it

Birmingham last night as we said. Actress and Bishop - good venue. Liverpool now, lovely.

Tomorrow we are in Manchester, and then Leeds on Sunday for the final night, until we go to Hamburg in two weeks time. In the meantime we are at the Hog and Armour, Norwich, for the sound and vision festival on the 18th September so home-city folk should come on down down downnnn.

New Nickname: Sam is now known as Wicksy. This is amusing for no other reason than we say so. Also - Ade can't close curtains and Wicksy lives in a drawer. Chase had his first Nando's and Graham and Sam shouldn't be allowed to go out alone after a gig. These are the things we have learned.

We'll leave you with the following artistic band logo, using arms (if you can guess who's arms they are, then you win an official Barlights cheese-grater*)

*Please note that there is no such thing as a Barlights cheese grater, but we may buy you a pint next time we see you.

Love, tBls.x
