Houston-third gig.
Denver was holding a lot of bottom end, but tonight the sound should be a little clearer for us, fingers crossed. Dallas tomorrow and the first of our own shows in Austin on Monday. Then I'm staying on the bus for the 1,149 mile drive to Tampa. I got a book to finish and I'm talking about writing, not reading!

Hamilton & Hare
'Later...with Jools Holland' went well, but a bumpy ride back to London only gave me a few hours in bed. I woke up early in the morning, as I had to go to the U.S. Embassy in Grosvenor Square for a Visa. However, everything is done and I managed to pick up my wonderfully embroidered Hamilton & Hare stage robe on the way back to the hotel.
We have a few more rehearsals, and then the production rehearsal. There will be a showcase gig on the 20th, 'The One Show' on the 21st, and then we leave for our first date on the tour in Phoenix.
I can't wait to get stuck in. Let me at 'em!!
See you soon.

Later...with Jools Holland
On the Underground traveling back from rehearsals,
a poster appeared on the wall before me. Looks familiar, I thought! Ah, It’s a
Pretenders album poster! Believe me, It's a strange feeling in so many ways.
So, our next performance is on the television show 'Later...with Jools Holland’ and It's been a blast having Dan
Auerbach playing along with us in rehearsal. He's doing the 'Later…' show with
us on the 12th of October.
Wow, that's Today!

Maida Vale Live Radio set!
Rehearsals have now reached a good
place. The Maida Vale Live Radio set for the 3rd of October is upon us and the
30 minute set feels good. What we don't know at the moment are the links in
between the songs. Who's counting in what, will we hear the count clearly, and
the guitar changes are yet to be arranged as the physical set up is so
different on a sound stage. All will be well because what could possibly go
wrong? We also have a few Live TV shows to do before we fly out to Phoenix for
the first show. I can't wait, but I hope my PRETENDERMC.COM
drum sticks will be ready!
