I was helping clear the chairs away when this guy walked past me, I recognised him so said hi, then it hit me - It was Josh! Steve came in wearing a very 'matrix' jacket, and Stu was sporting a lovely red hat! (it made him easy to find for autographs!)

I stood talking to Steve for a little while and he said how they don't like critics because the local free paper had labled them as "Blink 182 but not".

People started coming in and running straight to the front. I could smell food! and discovered that Merchandise guy, Paul (AKA Pazza) had some chips...and the kind guy gave them to me!(thanx!!)

The Venue is a great one for gigs wherever you are you get a fantastic view. I sat at the front of house mixing desk during the two support acts - which I must say were very good. I had to dash on stage to take the support bands stuff off before the guys came on. That's when I had the bright idea of abusing my "access all areas" pass! I sat myself on the floor at the middle of the stage against the barrier (great photo oppotunitys!) The music started, it was the opening chords to "Kind Of Day I've Had", the guys ran on and grabed there guitars/drum sticks. They bounced through "You Do Something To Me", and "Army Of Two" which was one of the best songs of the night. The other "best" song was "All Hooked Up On You" (and since the gig I have not had one moment when I have not been singing it!)

They also did a b-side which I had not heard before "Lucy's About To Beach" and new song, "Photographs" - which I really liked!

I thought the gig was amazing and prefer any gig if I am at the front, but this gig was cool and it being a small venue it's a lot more personal.

The "Fresh Prince" rap was fantastic, they went off after "Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts" and wouldn't come back out till the crowed were screaming their heads off! They finished the gig with "Everything".

I dove onto the stage, grabbed a set list for myself and started stealing more for other people! Once the Dum Dums went out into the crowd the stage area went quiet so we started to dismantal and coil thousands of cables...

I really enjoyed this gig, having the chance to meet all the tour crew was cool. They are all nice people and they deserve as much thanks as the band, because with out them "the show would not go on!" Thanx!

The security bloked started to get mad and chucked everyone out so the Dum Dums went with them and hung around outside for a while....Thanx guys!
