I’m back in Paris after the wrap up of our tour over the weekend. Back to reality I guess?
It’s all happened so quickly. These months of preparation and past 2 months of touring France and England are now a fond memory.
On the way back to Paris I began writing this blog, but after a minute or 2 I found myself watching the rows of seats down the isle of the Eurostar, looking at the people that were inhabiting them. I found it mind blowing at how many different thoughts that would be floating through eve
rybody’s heads right that second, and that how everybody was on his or her own journey somewhere. Wherever they wanted to go. Pretty soon I was off on a tangent. I decided I needed to spend my last few pounds at the bar, and finish writing there.It’s been an incredible journey for Blackchords. Always scattered with hurdles but always rewarded with the knowledge that we are heading in the right direction. It has been great to wander the streets of Paris and London, finding inspiration in its ancient walls. To live and breathe music everyday.
It is what we have been after for quite sometime.
Every gig we played was unique and we found a different energy with the crowed and in the room. So when Mark asked me which I thought was the best show? I couldn’t really answer. We’ve played with some great bands and we’ve met some amazing people, who I know we’ll get to see again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Each of us has loved every minute of being over here in Europe and so in someway it’s a little bit hard to say goodbye and head back to OZ. But we know that we still have a long way to go as we are just at the beginning. We have many more great experiences to live at home and elsewhere in this world.
On that note many many thank you’se to the people we have met along the way,
To Emms, to Claire and Sue, Dust Devil, The Blackchords team, Sasufi, and Arnaud Betrom (our French Bassist) who is a King! Can’t wait to do it again.
