…well it’s 14 days till the start of the ride and we’re about to burst with the anticipation and excitement of a year away. The rocknrollride consists of 10 countries, 2 people, 1 Guitar and a Harmonica and after chucking all these ingredients into the food mixer, the result (with a dash of vick supplied pepper) looks set to be the most exciting and amazing adventure of our lives.
We’ve spent pretty much the whole of last year planning and saving for this trip-apologies to all for being pretty boring on the social scene but we had to prioritise and although sweaty nights in the Basement are quite possibly the most fun you can have in England, memories of such amazing lager fuelled banter will not put a roof over our heads or feed us when we’re homeless/starving in Asia (insert quivery violin noise..)
It’s a time of ridiculous excitement but of course, sadness-we’re gonna miss everybody: family, friends and festivals, but a man (and a woman’s) got to do what a man (and a woman’s) got to do..
Hoping you will all keep us updated on anything particularly exciting that should emerge from the music scene–am appointing Mr. Lawrie and Mr. Beaching the team leaders of this department (It’s a job somebody’s given you to get you to do something they don’t want to do for free!-HA!)
Everybody we’ve spoken to has at some point sworn blind they will come and see us while we’re away. Well, I think actions speak louder than words. Here’s our itinery..get booking!

P.s. Should anyone be wondering how we could be so selfish and just up sticks and leave home, treating our friends and family like a toy a child gets for Christmas but then quickly loses interest in, we kindly leave you with lyrics to The Holloways ‘So this is Great Britain’ which should help everybody understand…
…So this is Great Britain and welcome aboard:
a sinking ship that’s full of shit and someone nicked the oars,
With failing false economies
and anti-punk autonomy,
Our once unique identity's
been washed from our shores.
So this is great Britain and these are our whores:
David and Victoria there's hope for us all,
You can rule Britannia
the media will Marry ya
They’ll build you up and knock you down
Just like the Berlin Wall.
In a land of hope and glory
do we really rule the waves?
The truth is a different story
We're all just a bunch of slaves.
Yeah this is Great Britain so lets raise a jar,
Just look at Georgie Best and how it got him so far,
The prince of pleasure lost his crown
By getting high and getting down
The alcoholic anti-hero's visibly scared..
Come on Great Britain lets sleep around!
Sex is so much fun you better spread it around
It really is infectious
and your soul is nothing precious
so grab some meat and treat your loins
To that by which their bound.
We'll soon be State Britain
If our best friends have their way
Just another star upon the flag across the waves.
United Kingdom
