I first read about it in disbelief. JAMES were going to play just up the road from me. A couple of miles. No more. They had announced the gig the night before however, my son was 16 that day (teenage dads, eh!) and I hadn't tuned in to see if anything was happening in Jamesland. So here I was, the next night, trying to buy 6 tickets over the internet and........... SOLD OUT. (a bit like the band with "sit down". Ha ha ha ha). F*CK. What was I going to do........................ Pray to the angels and hope TOTW would show up with a ticket.......... Lester piggot had a few as well but I couldn't get back to him in time so, looking for 6 tickets..... get 1........ and feel like a 'lucky man'.
So I go along to the gig. Mrs boj (who wanted a ticket) drops me off at the traffic lights at the top of Byres road. I make my way to the bottom of the stairs to go to the 'upstairs' bit of Oran Mor and I bump into Newcolour ("theres 4 new colours on the rainbow") and Goldmother ("heart of gold, heart of gold") and the t-shirt girl herself........ the one and only Lisa.
So we go in for a pre-gig drink. Then we meet-up with TOTW. We go into the gig get some drinks and head down the barrier at the front of the venue. We watch James. Anyway...............
....... I ended up upstairs with the 7 band members and at least 7 oneofthethree board members.......... A GREAT NIGHT. It was. It couldn't have been better. Well it could have been better but it was fuck/ng brilliant and I should have been sharing it with the other 5 ticketless fan who he been with me at the 20th April show.
Sorry to go on and on but my point is......... I will not have all you guys falling out over anything to do with what happened at Oran Mor. UNDERSTAND.
It was the greatest night EVER. EVER EVER EVER....... well obviously the Corn Exchange will be better. ;D
Though there will only be 5 of US.
