Tour of Eastern Yurp – April 2011 – Part II
Note: To aid your reading, you may wish to check out the whole set of photos on Facebook. BRNO Our driving seems to be perpetually punctuating by traffic jams in Praha/Prague. Just before we arrive we get done by the motorway patrol people – I don’t think they’re police, but I’m not sure. (I didn’t…

Tour of Eastern Yurp – April 2011 – Part I
Note: To aid your reading, you may wish to check out the whole set of photos on Facebook. WIEN We had a welcoming party at Wien Flughafen (Vienna Airport to you and me) and were whisked immediately into the city, swallowed whole by history and architecture.

Urban Fog, London … and other stories
We’ve had a busy few months here at Tiger Corp. We’ve completed a tour of Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia, topped it off with some shows in London, and also somehow managed to fit in a week in Paris and moving house. (I had a hard time finding wifi on the road, so my tour…

Jamminess vs Spaciness

Mandy’s Lost Years – US Tour 2010
The drive to Pittsburgh isn’t too long, so we’re okay with it, but we’re sad to be leaving Fort Wayne, where we’ve been treated like High Kings. The good news is that Pittsburgh shares three rivers with Fort Wayne. At least we’re not leaving it all behind. There are two places that Mandy our sat-nav/GPS…

Dun Uaine (Wayne’s Fort) – US Tour 2010
The following day, we make for Fort Wayne where we’re playing Come2Go, a very well-equipped, flashy space in downtown Fort Wayne. Brad looks after us here and when I say that he looks after us, I mean, he’s the most generous fella you could ever meet. The venue is huge, and they have a guy…

‘Ark the ‘Erald – US Tour 2010
We arrived in Ann Arbor and narrowly escaped the clutches of an awful hotel downtown, on a cold and snowy night. Bizarrely, he recommends that we stay at the Best Western, which we do, except someone has rebranded it as a Clarion. It’s a nice hotel, and deathly quiet – maybe five other rooms occupied…
