 ...the latest from the tour
 

there's an Unlit buzz in the air...

Here at Tour HQ we like to keep an eye on what's going on in the blogosphere and we're pleased to report that Jont and Dave are causing quite a stir out there.

Attending the Norwich Unlit gig was artist and blogger Eloise O'Hare. Armed with sketchpad and pencil, she drew Jont as he performed and here he is.

You can see the rest of Eloise's sketches here. We think she has captured the very essence of Unlit: coming together, being creative and above all having fun.

Jumping on the Unlit bandwagon is the Norwich Evening News 24 with a piece about Jont and Dave's visit to the city. Go ahead and have a read.

So well done to Jont, Dave, Garfield and everyone coming together to make the Unlit gigs happen!

Finally... Calling all Unlit fans: if you spot a blog post or local press piece you think we might have missed, then tell us in the comments section below - we'd love to hear from you.

Where have Jont and Dave been?

Latest from Tour HQ!

Last night's scheduled mini gig at Bettyhill was postponed and is due to take place tonight instead. Jont, Dave and Garfield are on the road right now after a welcoming overnight stopover halfway from Aberdeen at the Sutherland Arms Hotel in Golspie. The lads parked up the van and stopped overnight in the woods in the grounds - proper camping!

Owner Kev plied the guys with a selection of fine whiskies and sent them to bed dreaming of perfectly poached eggs for breakfast this morning. They were not disappointed!

Keep your eyes peeled as Jont, Dave and Garfield will be spending today uploading the latest videos and photos, including from last night's antics at the Sutherland Arms. There's no rest for the wicked, so they'll be setting up for their gig at the Bettyhill Hotel too. Kick off is at about 8pm so if you're nearby, get yourself down there for an unmissable musical treat.

message from Tour HQ

Hi there! A quick post to say sorry for the radio silence. We've been editing on the road as we go - a gig every night - with loads of great new people that we've met, and all of this has kept us away from our digital duties.

With Jont, Dave and Garfield doing such a good job of telling the Unlit story, for a while it looked like we might not be needed. But there's so much to blog about that the job just got too big for three.

The tour is well under way but there's still plenty more to enjoy over the next two weeks. Tonight's mini gig at the Bettyhill Hotel Pub up in Sutherland, Scotland will bring more music, visuals and stories so keep an eye out tomorrow for more updates.

Don't forget to look out for the Liverpool episode on Friday. Rumour has it there's an appearance of a Bavarian John Lennon...???

After that the boys will be taking the road to Dumbarton for Friday's gig, then onto Glasgow and Edinburgh. Those big wheels, keep on turning...
