Saturday 5th July 2025

Woke around 0800. Got up and had coffee…and overnight oats with oat milk that I’d stuck in the fridge before bed last night. Two shows today…so made a packed meal to take with me for between the shows. Aki did an early lunch/dinner…pan fried salmon. I walked to Finsbury Park station at 1230 to catch a No.106 bus to Stoke Newington. Already busy with fans converging on this evening’s Fontaines DC gig…I was asked the way to the local Best Western by a bloke with a heavy Black Country accent…had a pleasant chat about the band as I walked him in the right direction. Got to the theatre in good time…sat in the cafe at Abney Park and read the final chapter of Barnaby Rudge. Martin Doughty and his missus were in this afternoon…but weren’t in the bar when I came to look for them after the show…thought perhaps they’d stayed in the theatre for the Q&A. Had my ham salad in the bar before reconvening in the theatre for warm up ahead of the evening show. Another sell out, and standing ovation. Made my way home via last night’s route…No.243 bus to Seven Sisters tube station, then Victoria Line to Finsbury Park.
