finding my zion
have had a great weekend working on the merchandise stall for zion train at their two gigs this weekend in bristol and exeter.
friday saw us at the trinity centre in bristol. i arrived early and watched the light and sound engineers get themselves ready for the evening. had a good chat with one of the stewards that volunteer to help with crowd control during the evening. zion train arrived back from the hotel, was so lovely to see them all again. i got set up with all the merchandise and phil arrived, was a great evening chatting to all the lovely people who came up to look or buy the music on offer. bumped into an old friend from gloucester who i haven't seen in years which was really nice. zion train did (in my opinion) the best set i've seen all year helped massively by the fact that dubdadda was back on vocals. takes me back to those early zion train gigs where he was there with molara. i have enjoyed seeing kenny knotts with zion train but to me having dubdadda doing vocals is proper zion train! danced around and had a blooming good time, drove home tired but very happy!
on saturday me and jan went to the phoenix centre in exeter to do it all again. arrived later to this one as it was further to go and we were late leaving. got set up and like the night before we met loads of really great people. even here two hours away from home i bumped into a couple of friends, some guys i had met last year at lynton & lynmouth festival and beautiful days festival. me and jan took turns in going in and having a boogie while zion train were on and again i enjoyed it more that the gigs earlier in the year. after packing up we went backstage and spent an hour or so chatting, smoking and drinking with the zion train crew, friends and staff from the venue. was a top evening and i can't thank everyone involved enough for making my weekend so bloody great!
