Well well well. My first ever blog! Where do I start? Today I got a PM on the Iron Maiden message boards saying that I’m one of the 60 Fan Club members that have been drawn to get a “First To the Barrier” wristband at Earl’s Court! Get in! I can now stick two fingers up at all the poor sods in the mile-long queue outside the venue and get right at the front.

I’m now really looking forward to going back to London to watch We Will Rock You in 9 days time. Will be nice to get back to my (spiritual) home – the Dominion Theatre – at least for a couple of hours anyway. I leave Aberystwyth at 8.20 in the morning on the National Express coach, 7 hours later I arrive with deep-vein thrombosis and cramp at Victoria – but hey, it saves me a tenner when compared to the train so I’m not complaining.
