The gigs have been great, sometimes the band has been going so good that I come off and think, ‘oh man I’m sorry I’ve got to die because the gig has been so good!’ then there was the stuff like Elton John and being interviewed on Breakfast TV- unlooked for situations that were really amusing in the middle of moments of hideous terror- those moments can be terrifying.
