Day 12 - Groningen
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
It was Tour Mole's birthday last night and Jackie (manager and co-conspirator at Wurdamouth Records) had laid on a bottle of Champagne in the Tour Mole's room. It was actually very touching to see his reaction, he was genuinely moved by it. I mean it was just a bottle of shampers but he wasn't expecting anything at all so it really took him by surprise.Anyway, my original plan was to go straight to bed that night as I knew it was a long old day in the car, but how could I do that with there being a bottle of Moet there and Tour Mole celebrating another year in the world. So, we sat up and polished it off. It was good stuff too.....
Really felt it this morning though... I think the mixture of being really tired already didn't help. However it was very much worth it.
We headed to a small café for breakfast. I should have got a plain old croissant, but we ended up getting three big sugary buns and cutting them in half for a taste test...bad move!
Tonight's gig went well, and I've had a word with the promoters about coming back for my own shows next year...see you soon Holland...f
They were kind enough to name the venue after me tonight...good publicity I reckon...

Karl Gustafsson replied about 21 hours after.Ok, Foy! I just ordered your record and was thrilled when you performed in Oslo just before Tori Amos. It's quite seldom that i'm so amazed by a performace. What i really enjoyed was your sense of humor.
I left Sweden for the Tori Amos concert and discovered your music as well.
Thanks man

Jay replied 1 day after.Some great updates Foy, keep it up! You missed a great Arthur's day in Dublin... or rather we missed you but having said that it was a great session! People singing in temple bar from early, I arrived at 5pm and you would of thought it was 3am on paddy's day! Hope Belfast treated you well and you raised a glass or two for the man that helps us to forget!
