As I write this, I'm sitting in a strange and foreign place known as "Nottinghamshire", which is allegedly in the Midlands. To be honest, I could be in the middle of Lancashire (Gods help me!) for all I know.
So, the first tour I've booked is now in progress with day one finished.
I did some last minute packing this morning of the essentials - mainly some two bottles of some knock-off branded Jagermeister and two bottles of Leffe beer and a few clothes and other bits and bobs. I met up with Melissa (Aonia) and Marie (Alwaid) at Hull train station.
From their, we proceeded straight to O'Rileys where the rest of Alwaid already were along with Tim from Aonia.
This was my first show in Hull in just under three years. The turn out was poor but that was to be expected since the show was meant to take place in Bridlington originally.
Teras were the first band on the bill. They're a death/thrash metal act local to Hull and they blasted through their set with their usual ferocity. I managed to get a few good snaps of them which I'll post at some point.
Lost Effect - who are special guests on the tour alongside Alwaid - followed after and they were on top form. A thoroughly enjoyable set by them, as to be expected. Alice In Thunderland were third band on the bill and were also enjoyable.
Alwaid, whom are main support/special guests on the tour, were absolutely fantastic. They appeared to go down very well with the crowd, which is always good and they complimented the touring headliners Aonia very well, due to their similar sounds.
Aonia, of course, were just amazing, though some will say that I have to say that as I do PR for them as a rule. But biases aside, Aonia were amazing.
After packing up, I jumped in Alwaid's van to be taken to this mythical place known as Nottinghamshire, where we're staying at the moment. I've tried some French food they brought with them including some sort of savoury bread that has a chocolate filling.
Next stop is Leicester at The Shed!
