Babyshambles blog No 10: In which we hit the Big Rooms with a boom

And it was chocks away as we started the tour in Manchester last night. It's the first time we've got it together enough to have a contrived aesthetic built for the stage (disorganised shower of pillocks that we are. Well, save Adam). We have our own lighting guy now too so we had to write a setlist and stick to it for his benefit. It's a different animal to what we're used to, but we really had a blast. The crowd were amazing: as always with a very receptive audience it was they who made the night so exciting. It was quite overwhelming to tell you the truth.

So I'm sorry I've not written a blog post in a while. I went to Spain to visit my family and when I got back I was busy getting stuff together for this tour. Thanks to everyone who came to the Helsinki gig at Cazambles in the Old Queen's Head. If you enjoyed us half as much as we enjoyed you ... erm, then you enjoyed yourselves twice as much as us. No, wait...

Now for Newcastle...
