This weekend we had played in The Gate in Cardiff for Edith’s home a charity supporting a community of Ngora in Uganda. The guys support over 100 HIV/AIDS orphans and makes sure they are looked after in education and helps with farming, food storage and self sufficiency. What a gig and it was great to see some familiar faces in the crowd which seems to be happening more and more with IK gigs. With Dave being away on the Diana Vickers tour (as her album goes number 1 as well as her debut single ‘Once’, Ryan Holt stepped in as the IK’s stixman. A great night was had by all! www.edithshome.com
On Saturday we performed with Bjorn Again (probs the biggest covers/tribute band in the world). The day started with a massive bonus…free cooked sausages! We also got loads of cheesecake and yummies! It was Ryan’s Birthday so we tried to hook him up with a Bridesmaid, alas she went off with a waiter and Ryan had no birthday shweff! :’O( To the lady who fell down the stairs…. that was a stupid thing to do, don’t do it again!
The Bjorn Again crew were amazing, and big thanks to Jason Salvin from production light and sound Ltd who along with his team helped make the night incredible. highlights included. Also thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome and for so many autograph requests
Bring on the next one!
