We find one job that just needs a skip, but we can’t get one as most of the skips in Salford are being used for Message 2k1. We end up doing a bit of weeding in a garden.
We are very glad for drinks that they keep giving us, as this is one of the hottest days so far. Despite all the drinks, some of us are quite stinky, as we’ve not had a shower for several days. The Police officers let us know that we can use the one in changing rooms for a football Pitch.
Myself and few others come need to freshen up. We quickly discover that the place was intended for single sex changing rooms, and has little privacy, especially in the shower. So the lads go in first.
ARRG!! We discover that the water comes in Cold or Freezing. It was a shock when you’re used to 18C or higher temperatures, and we were out in the hottest parts of the day.
After our quick shower, we get dressed in one of the side rooms. Some of us are done quickly, others brought just about everything for a nightout. Before he finished Hannah now with wet hair and a change some of clothes tell us to make a move on. Apparently this guy takes longer getting ready than girls do, and I heard girls make-up sessions can take quite some time.
We head to the pub, it’s open today. We watch the cricket highlights as I wait for the meal. Some of the DNA have already eaten by the time, I get my meal. Then I show my Whirlwind action with the food. Eating at the rate I did could give you indigestion, especially if you do some very active footwork, for example jumping and hopping, afterwards.
Since my meal was late, we had to run to main tent. We arrive for the Tribe’s opening act. Their second song is “Take Back the Beat” which is the track from the album of the same name. This is first time I hear the track, and I discover that Emma can really rap. In previous albums, Emma didn’t do much singing, mainly as she started as dancer, But with Cameron Dante leaving Emma took the up the Singing role where Dante would have sung. (I think she may have taken some Tim lines when Tim takes Dante’s.)
The Tribe does Jumping in the House of God, including Emma, who does do not some of the more “Aerobatic” Moves that the lads do. Whist I jump, I have to keep an eye out for those around me, I notice that MIC, the other “resident” band, were doing the number with us in the crowd.
