The only slight catch being that the requested duration for the concert was something close to twice the length of our usual sets. With no other bands on the bill this particular evening we were asked if we could extend our set a little to compensate. As the only band performing at Das Bett that night, soundcheck unfolds at a leisurely pace with Karen disappearing at one point to do a hastily arranged radio interview with a local station and Stef surreptitiously patching a Boss RE20 Space Echo into Dave’s effects chain whilst he’s momentarily out of the room. Game duly completed and glasses empty it’s time for load-in and soundcheck for the first show of the tour.

With the streets largely empty, shops shut for the day and a light drizzle falling, we make tracks to a nearby bar for a few beers and game of pool that was pretty much a foregone conclusion after Dave’s barnstorming opening break. Several hours later the band arrived at Das Bett in Frankfurt on time for soundcheck, not an unusual occurrence on Heligoland tours, to find the venue still closed and shuttered. The culinary explorations continued later in the afternoon on the other side of the German border where at a small service station Stef discovers the Wunderbar, a delicious chocolate, peanut and caramel nougat snack that featured prominently in his diet for the duration of the tour. Not wanting to miss a final opportunity for a French bakery snack, Steve continued his ongoing survey of the regional variations of chausson aux pommes. Making our way across France towards the German border the first stop was for lunch in the city of Metz. Problems we’d encountered on previous tours accommodating bandmembers possessing longer than normal legs were now a thing of the past.

Heading east at this time of year we were anticipating a few weeks of similar or worse weather but the tour was off to a great start already as we’d lucked into a free upgrade at the car rental agency and we set out for the expedition in a suspiciously brand-new looking Ford Galaxy van, a cavernous vehicle ideal for long distance driving and touring. Our departure from Paris took place on a cold, windy January morning.
