Some of you might remember that a while ago I asked for some votes on an online competition thing, to win my band a slot at a Norwegian festival, as well as some recording time.
Well we won the competition (massive thanks to everyone that voted!!), and tomorrow morning we're leaving for the festival!
Massively excited - never played abroad before so it's a fresh experience for me. It promises to be a lot of fun! 
If anyone's interested in the band, we recently made a new video, it can be seen here: http://youtu.be/GxZIBxOXf88
Thanks guys, in a bit!

| Norway is lovely place, but bloody expensive. Enjoy! |
Mid life crisis kicked in, drum kit bought. It's not quite like cycling though, you forget. A lot! |

Playing abroad is fine, but remember that your kit will be the other way round, just like driving!!
Have fun |

Cheers for all the kind words!
It's really rural and scenic and pretty here, quite different to liverpool!
The festival is called somerfesten, we're playing tomorrow and spending today doing a few interviews and exploring the area and stuff
I think it might be getting streamed live, if I find out where I'll post a link

Chris where are you in Norway? Sommerfesten, basically means 'the Summer festival', and they have them all over the country. Quite a few down the west coast. Can you see a lot of beardy blokes? One or 2 carrying bibles maybe?

Seen a few beardy dudes, not sure it narrows it down! Everyone is realy friendly though!
festival is in a place called giske, and we're staying near alesund.
we were interviewed on equivalents of bbc1 and radio 4 today, seems like it's quite a big thing. Good times

Got back last night, what an experience!
Such a beautiful place and lovely people (the festival was awesome too!). Wasn't as expensive as i was expecting either, apart from the beer.
I think we all completely fell in love with the place, can't wait to head back in february to record the album!
