TURISAS "rebel violinist" Olli Vänskä is keeping an ongoing tour diary for www.shutterblast.net founder (and reliable BW&BK; source) Audrey Dujardin during the band's current road trip with DRAGONFORCE. Following is Vänskä's latest entry:
October 9th - Glasgow, Scotland
"In Glasgow. Another off-day! Well, at least it gives me time to write this stuff. Sitting in a bar called the Lord of the Isles. Nice and funky, although I don't understand shit about the local speech. No offense. Just got a meal in front of me. British beef and Abbot Ale pie. Mmm.Yesterday's show in Newcastle was probably the best so far on this tour. Fed up with small stages (limited space for the supporter), we really were into playing on a bit bigger one. I was a bit tired/hungover (am I repeating myself?) but somehow it was actually really focused gig. So all cool with that. Decided to go sober for the night, so I just took a walk in the city at the middle of the night, saw some stupid fucks fighting in front of a nightclub, watched a bit of a French movie, 36, and ended up planning some cool things for the upcoming tours. Ended up to bed too late again. The night before it happened at 7.30 am, now around 4 am (although I couldn't sleep). As Jussi said, there's something wrong with the country. Maybe it's the time difference (-2 hrs compared to Finland), Or then it's just a regular tour thing.
Anyway, today in Glasgow, eating overpriced all-day breakfasts and Abbot Ale pie. Could be worse.
Expecting a proper good gig tomorrow!"
