aka: The Calm Before The Storm!
The organisers had arranged to the band and entourage to stay at the rather posh (and very expensive!) Stakesby Manor Hotel. Having reached the hotel after the soundcheck, and got everyone settled into their rooms, we all, Tony, Candia, Adam, Dean, Trevor the sound engineer, Pyromancer, and Linzi, congregated in the hotel's bar for a couple of drinks before heading back to the Spa.

Of course the band did have to put up with being followed round the place for most of the weekend by this dodgy looking pair of reprobate Sheffgoths. Aha, the burdens of fame...
