Back from Japan. It was great.. 3rd time there too.
Met some new friends and saw some old ones. Its a fabulous place. When you work it out.. a week there is probably the same price as two weeks in Greece/Spain, so I really recommend a visit!

Tomorrow is my Grandad’s funeral. It will be the first one I have been to, so I really don’t know what to expect. Its a ‘humanist’ service, celebrating his life rather than grieving his death, which I think is good. A formal Christian funeral would be very odd since nobody in my family is whatsoever religious.
Derek Brown, 76 was a good man, very respectful, had a sense of humour like Bernard Manning, was very well travelled, owned more cars than anybody I knew and loved cats. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace.

So I am back from 3 weeks in Australia.
Its… an interesting country to say the least but I had a good time and looking forward to another tour there in the near future.
The best thing about that tour was meeting several great people who I will probably be friends with for the rest of my life.

Japan is once again on the cards. I depart on Thursday. Flying with Virgin Atlantic, which is a first for me. I will be tour managing BLESSED (Formerly Blessed By A Broken Heart) who are to open the huge Loud Park festival at the Makuhari Messe Hall (much like the UK’s NEC in Birmingham).. where the band will be sharing the stage with the likes of Judas Priest, Steel Panther, Slayer and Megadeth to name a few.
I am always excited to go to Japan more than any other place. The reason for this is that its so dramatically different to life in the UK..and touring anywhere else for that matter. I love the vending machines, I love the super-fast Internet and best of all the people are some of the most hard-working, respectable and polite I have ever come in contact with.
Who knows what the back end of the year holds out. I really do want to hit New York City before Christmas.. so I’m going to make that happen.
