Istanbul

Alarm call at 9AM. Supposed to have a continental breakfast delivered to my room. It appeared after a phone call from me at about 9:55 it was supposed to be there at 9am oh well. It was worth the wait, not.. It was crap.. Anyway, shot down to meet the lads as we were going to get out and get some photos around Istanbul. Off we went in two Taxis. First off the the Blue Mosque..



We didnt go inside as they had just started praying.. We did some shots outside. Then moved on and walked to the Bazar. This was amazing, very middle eastern.

Lots of people trying to sell us things and also loads of them spotting the lads and asking for autographs. We spent about and hour in there and the jumped in a cab and headed back to our hotel. Glen had to be there as he was being interviewed by CNN and a radio station and a couple of magazines. One of the magazine also sent a photgrapher to do a quick photoshoot.



I then shot up to my room to down load all of my shots from earlier today and get ready for the live gig. I only had 15 mins to do this. We need to be at the sound check for 6pm. We will be on stage at The Roxy in Istanbul at 11:30 tonight, Deep Joy !!




The gig was great. The Roxy was pretty much crammed with a great crowd. Finally left the gig and got back to the hotel at about 3:30. Went to be at about 4:30. We agreed we should meet in the morning and go off for some more photos. Well we will see if that happens....
