Some of which I should of took on board more than others! Overall, it was very much a success, with all of the shows going well, good merch sales and no car breakdowns or fall outs . McDonalds and take-aways were kept to a minimum and alcohol consumption wasn't overly done. The one major issues I had were that I am quite a light sleeper and with three guys who snored, it was hard getting a good nights sleep. The ear plugs did help, but they are uncomfortable when sleeping on your side, and the white noise thing didn't really work. I did eventually get used to it, but some nights were particularly hard. Packing long johns and thick socks were a blessing and packed just enough to get me through 8 days. Staying with girls is so much better than staying with guys. Cups of tea and bacon sandwiches are always provided for One recommendations from the original thread, which I should have used was to make time for myself. Near the end I was just getting frustrated with everyone, for no reason. When I was coming back to Belfast by myself, that time alone was kinda what I needed and wished I used it on tour. Again thanks to everyone for their advice. The experience didn't put me off the idea of tour, even though we stayed on people's floors and the lack of sleep, it added to the adventure that it was Can't wait to do it all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
