Grant phoned me today and asked if I wanted to come and see Babyshambles wit him at the Reading Rooms. We headed along to the gig for half seven, and met up with Grant's friend Amanda. We then had to wait outside for an hour (even though doors were suppose to be opening at 7.30).

Eventually we got inside and they made everyone queue in the bar for another half hour. When they finally opened the doors, everyone rushed to get in but we managed to get space at the front. We met some other lovely people called Kim and Harriot. After another half hour or so the first support band came on and then the second and then… some random guy who was testing Pete’s microphone, who ended up staying to sing nine songs.

When all the support finished, it was half eleven and we then had to watch all the equipment being tested again. The second sound check took about 30 minutes and then there was another break for 15 minutes. Eventually the rest of Babyshambles came on and started playing and after another 15 minutes, Pete was thrown on to the stage. It was really good though we were tired from waiting. At one point, the amps that we were standing next to began to sway and almost fell over until Pete stood on top of them to stop them from falling.
