Below the Interview with Ally McErlaine and Eddie Campbell, taped 25th March 2001 in Amsterdam (Holland)
At about 18.00, both Eddie and Ally picked us up from the backstage office and there we went, on a journey to find a room to do the interview in. With no luck of finding that, we went to the red tour bus and did the whole interview (almost one hour) in the back of it! (very cosy)
L: (Linda) It’s on. So be careful what you say from now on!
E: (Eddy) I buy it of ya (talking about the digital dictating machine).
L: It’s pretty cool, isn’t it?
E: Yeah, genius!!!
L: Well, what can I say, we’re pro’s! Before I begin with the interview, I have a little present for you. A little icebreaker. I only have one though, so I hope you’re good at sharing!
A: (Ally) Can we drink it?
E + A: Wow, yeah!!!! Thank you!!! Thank you very much (unwrapping a bottle of whiskey). We’ll share it on the bus; we’ll have a little drink tonight. Thank you again!!!
L: Dear Ally and Eddie, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I’m really very thrilled about it. You’re on the tour now for almost two months, not counting the little break in between. You started this tour on the 5th of February and are doing forty concerts in twenty eight different cities, travelling through eleven European countries. How do you prepare yourself, physically and mentally, for such a long-drawn-out battle?
E: Buying lots of duty free cigarettes. (All laughing)
L: Is that the only way?
E: Yeah, and I go to the gym. (Trying desperate to keep a straight face... then they both burst out laughing)
L: That’s not too bad (reaching out and touching Eddie’s biceps. Then I move over to Ally and feeling his as well. Although he’s trying desperate to make some sort of muscle...)
L: Sorry mate, that’s less. (All laughing again)
L: So no major workout, healthy diet, staying away from liquor, cigarettes and sex?
A: No, the thing is, before this tour, we were doing promotion for a long time. Like, for six months we were going around Europe, doing TV-shows. And then the tour came up real suddenly.
E: We had a lot of rehearsals. Like a week or so.
L: Just a week? For the whole tour?
E: Yeah, cause when you’re doing concerts, you’re rehearsing at the same time, you know what I mean?
A: And we’ve also been doing the songs for twelve years or so, so we really should be knowing them by now!
E: If you can’t by now, you should get locked up. (All laughing)
L: Do you ever practice again, or is playing every night practice enough?
E: No, I still practice, I practice!
L: If you put down you’re guitar for three weeks or so, do you really have to get into it again?
A: No, I find, that if you don’t play at all for a few weeks, then it’s very fresh to do again
L: I heard Eric Clapton say exactly the same thing. He hadn’t played for 4 months and found it also very refreshing, inspiring if you like, to pick up a guitar after such a long time
A: He did? Well, I wouldn’t last for four months though...
L: Now, I also have a complaint, I’m sorry...
A: About Ally?
L: No actually about Sharleen! She has this ritual of picking a guy from the audience every night and let him “pull up to the bumper”. Why a guy? I wouldn’t mind having a little dance with one of you for a change.
E: Well, in Glasgow we did both, a couple of guys and a couple of girls, but it was actually a bit chaotic. It was a bit hard for everybody to know where to focus on. It was almost like a game show, wasn’t it (looking at Ally)?
A: It’s a good bit in the set cause it makes it fun. It’s always really funny, so we just get one guy, that’s it.
L: When you’re playing live, is there still some room to improvise, or do you stick to the chords, note by note?
A: No, we’ve been jamming. We start to jam now. There are bits in the set where we can jam a bit, but because of the production on this tour (the lights are all programmed and stuff) things have to be certain lengths. In the old days we use to stretch these songs for a long time, but now it’s got to be all pretty much timed. But you can always get little bits in, if you want to.
(Suddenly we are all distracted, cause my photographer falls down from a rather high, artistic position)
E: Oi, that’s my bunk you’re standing on!! (All laughing)
L: The Greatest Hits album is doing really well. In January it even reached the #1 position in the UK charts for the second time, knocking THE BEATLES from it. How cool was that?
A: It was great. I tell you, it’s even better when it goes back to # 1.
L: You do have some free days in between this tour, like tomorrow. How do you generally spend them?
E: Me and Johnny love to play golf.
L: (Laughing)
E: Stop laughing. It’s very relaxing you know. You can smoke, you can have a drink...
L: I thought you guys were more into football?
A: Yeah, that’s me. We were in Italy a couple of weeks ago, and they offered me to see MILAN – PALERMO. That was so fantastic. And there was that other day, when we were in Paris. We went out to see the POMPARDAUX (sorry, couldn’t quite understand???) and afterwards we went clubbing all night, so that’s cool too. We’ve been touring for so long that we know the places we go to really well, so when we are in Paris for instance, we go and see friends and people we know a lot...
L: So it’s not just bus/stage/hotel?
A: No!
L: So no promo stuff in between? They fairly leave you alone and leave all the promo stuff to Sharleen?
E: Yeah!
L: That must be pretty exhausting for her, performing and promoting?
E: Yeah, well, she will be at the end of this tour; cause Sharleen did months and months of promotion before it as well.
L: Sharleen was a bit “under the weather” during the little tour break at the end of February, wasn’t she? Cause you cancelled a lot of TV-gigs after that.
A: Yeah, I think she was a bit sick. You know what, sometimes, when you’re on tour, you really don’t want to do a lot of promotion, cause you just want to concentrate on the gigs. Getting in that whole lifestyle of touring. If you have to do TV and stuff like that during the day as well, it messes that up. So we try to avoid it as much as possible.
L: No record companies who think different about that?
A: No, we always get a choice. It’s up to Sharleen if she wants to do it or not. And if it’s something really important or good, we’ll do it, but when you’re on tour the gigs are more important then anything. So you don’t really want to do anything that distracts you from the concerts.
L: Can you tell us anything about the release date of the new single and will it in fact be Guitar Song?
E: It’s not been official yet. There are a couple of different things... I mean, we don’t know yet. It will be a surprise.
L: Is there going to be a cover of Van Morrison on the B-side?
A+E: (Both looking very surprised) Not that WE know! (All laughing)
L: Well lads, I have some news for you, it’s going to be a cover of Van Morrison!
A: Great, what number are we going to do then?
L: I’ll phone that in later. (All still laughing). You've both been in TEXAS for a very long time; did you do anything musically before that?
E: No, I was pretty much out of school, I was unemployed for a couple of years.
L: Well, who wasn’t in the 80’s?
E: Yeah, right, that was a real bummer in those days, but then I met Ally.
A: Eddie played in one of my best friends bands. He was the keyboard player there. TEXAS had Greg Armstrong as their keyboard player back then. And then he left, and I immediately thought of Eddie, cause he had a great haircut. (All laughing)
L: OK, spill it, how long was it?
E: No, no, it wasn’t long at all, I looked more like James Dean.
L: (Raising an eyebrow)
E: I did, and it looked pretty cool I tell you.
L: Talking about hairstyles, Ally. What look are you going for there?
A: I just haven’t got time to get a haircut
(That’s a rather funny remark, having a hairdresser IN THE BAND!!!)
L: Well, I might have some scissors on me so...
A: Cool, any chance you...
L: I’d better not
A: I usually do it myself anyway.
L: No?
E: He does. He just puts a mould around his head and starts cutting
L: Well, long hair is in again so... In the magazines the all look like that again so...
A: Which magazines would that be then?
E: The Dutch ones! (All laughing, except me...well)
L: With all the contract negotiations, meetings, travelling, interviews, photo shoots and press, do you still feel like a musician or more like a businessman sometimes?
E: No, we try not to get involved in that at all. We have other people who take care of that for us.
A: That’s the great thing about touring. You actually feel that you’re in a band again. Playing night after night is really good fun.
E: And after the concerts, back in the bus, having a drink and blast out music...great!
L: But it must be tiring as well? I mean, just looking at the whole tour list (forty concerts) makes me exhausted. I couldn’t do it!
A: To be honest, we really can’t complain, cause we’ve got a nice bus, we stay in nice hotels, we’ve got excellent catering...so it’s actually really comfortable. So we really can’t complain about it at all.
E: In fact, we are really looking forward to every gig. We do! The vibe is amazing.
L: Well, I must say, you always send that out to the audience as well. People say about you and the rest of the band as well that you’re all very down to earth.
E: (Laughing)
A: I am, Eddie
E: Oi, he’s such a snob. (Both laughing)
L: I want to ask you something about your instruments now. Ally, how many guitars do you own?
A: Pppfff... I don’t even know. A lot! Probably about 25!
L: Wow, and they are divided between Glasgow and London I imagine?
A: Yes, all the guitars that we use on the tour get shipped back to Glasgow. They are all stored there. And I also have a lot of guitars in my home in London.
L: Which is your favourite?
A: Gibson 335!
L: I don’t know anything about guitars so, is that the brown/yellow one?
A: Yeah, that was the first REAL guitar I ever bought. I’ve had it since I was seventeen. Well, when I first joined TEXAS, Sharleen and Johnny bought it for me the first week I was in TEXAS. Before that I only had some cheap guitars. And it’s my favourite guitar. I wouldn’t know what to do without it.
L: How many strings did you break on this tour so far?
A: Two; One was during Prayer for You. No, wait, both were during Prayer for You.
E: You better stop playing that one then. (Both laughing)
A: The last time was in Denmark. I was just starting Prayer for You and the string busted in the first stanza. We had to stop and I had to replace it. That was pretty boring.
L: I was wondering. Why do both Sharleen and Johnny play the guitar right-handed, when they are in fact both left-handed?
A: A lot of people do, even when they are left-handed, cause it’s pretty hard to get a left-handed guitar.
L: Paul McCartney found one!
A: Yeah, well, you CAN get them, but for us, in those days it was hard to get one. Cause left-handed guitars are always more expensive, cause they only make a few.
L: Keyboards now... Eddie
E: (Looking a bit startled) I have four hundred and nineteen keyboards!
L: LOL, you use a lot of different brands, like the Rhodes stage piano...
E: yeah, I have another Rhodes aside of that... a ’73 Rhodes as well.
L: A lot of old stuff. Do you still own the KORG as well?
E: Yeah, the KORG triggering the samples.
(Steve enters the front of the bus now)
E: We recently bought a couple of MOOKS. Old MOOKS. So I’m going to start get into that as we get home. Some nice sounds. New advanced sounds!
L: Then there’s the ROLAND VK-7?
E: (Teasing me) What’s that?
L: You use that for creating Hammond sounds, right?
A: It’s stolen. Better check the serial number first!!!
E: (Serious again) Yeah, basically it’s a Hammond simulator.
L: And finally the JUNO 106! That’s really a classic one. At least 15 years old. You can’t even buy them anymore, can you?
E: Well, you can shop on the net. There are some good sites on the net that still have them.
L: You don’t seem to be in the new stuff really?
E: Ooo no, I am, I am! Just not on stage that much. I use them a lot at home, when I’m creating new samples and stuff.
L: You’re called the king of samples, so I was told?
A: Is he?
E: Thanks a lot Ally!!! (All laughing)
L: A lot is done on computers I imagine? What kind of software do you use?
E: Logic (K Platinum Pro Tools)
L: Not Qbase?
E: No, cause at the time when everybody started to get into computer programming, you had the choice, QBASE or LOGIC. Those where the two programmes around. For no apparent reason I chose LOGIC and stuck to it. I guess you just use the one you know best. It’s just two different ways of working. There ain’t no way I’m ever going to learn QBASE now!
L: Do you both master any other instruments besides keys/guitar?
A: I’ve been learning to play keyboards a bit. But I’m real bad still.
E: Do you?
L: You know a few chords already?
A: Yeah, basically, I’ve got a keyboard back home and practice every now and then.
E: I had no idea!
L: He might go solo now!
E: Thank god!
A: Any other instruments for you Eddie?
E: I like playing the guitar a bit.
L: You do?
A: Yeah, he plays the guitar quite good.
L: You should do it one stage sometime Eddie.
A: I won’t let him. (All laughing)
E: Also, I don’t look like a guitar player. Come to think of it, I don’t look like a bloody keyboard player either!
L: Who is the most annoying person you ever met in this business?
E: (Immediately pointing at Ally)
L: Besides Ally?
A: Of everybody? Pppfffff... Marko! (referring to Marko Hoven, the chairman of this fanclub...lol) No, Marko, I’m only joking mate!
L: Nobody? Sharleen has plenty of names on her list. Gary “fuckface” Barlow, Mr. Goldstein, Mariah Carey, Patti Smith...
A: Well, I never met Mariah Carey so... No, actually most people in the music-business are okay. We met a lot of good people. Most bands are okay as well. I can’t really think of anybody that stands out, that’s been a pain in the arse. (After thinking some more...) There used to be this band in Glasgow called HUMAN CRY (couldn’t understand him, sorry!) that we used to really hate!
L: Competition?
A: No, they were just really obnoxious!
L: Who is the most interesting person you ever met, or you admire the most?
A+E: David Bowie!!!
E: We were doing TOTP once and we saw ‘fucking” David Bowie walking down the corridor. I was going like... (looking full admiration and hanging his tongue out) And he came up to us and said: YOU LOOK LIKE A HAPPY CHAPPY? That’s what he said. (Laughing)
A: We were also outside smoking a cigarette and he came out of his dressing room and smoked a cigarette of us. That was great. He’s really a nice guy. Very cool and very smart too.
L: I’m not really into his music, but I like the slower stuff like THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
A: That’s the new stuff! Oooo, but you should get the old stuff like HUNKY DORY and ZIGGY STARDUST and all those albums.
L: Not too loud for me?
E + A: Ooo, no, it’s not! A lot is acoustic. And also buy the BEST OF album. You can’t go wrong there!
L: OK, you’ve convinced me. I’ll go to the record shop tomorrow.
E: Honestly, you’ll love it, you really will.
L: Ally your girlfriend is in the music-industry as well. Have you ever considered some kind of collaboration between the two of you?
A: Mmmm, yeah, actually, we do write songs together at home, when we got some spare time. We’ve got a little studio and we write songs and all that.
L: None for Alicia’s Attic?
A: No, just for fun. Maybe there will be something there at some point but...
L: Did you help writing THE HOUSE WE BUILT (red: new album AA)?
A: No, she and her sister did it all together! They are actually really talented songwriters. Shellie goes into the bedroom for like 5 minutes and comes back...Finished!
E: Really??? (not talking about song writing anymore at all!!)
(Both burst out into laughing!!)
L: Do you ever criticize each other’s work?
A: Yeah, she says we’re crap and I say they suck as well!! No serious, she never does. She never said anything like that.
E: Not even constructive criticism?
A: No, to be honest, in our home, we don’t talk about that. It’s not that we don’t want to talk about music at all, but you just don’t want to talk about work all the time. Cause when you are working like 10 months a year or whatever, and you finally get home for a couple of days, there are so many other things in life that you’ve got to do and talk about. So you don’t talk about the whole music business that much.
L: Eddie, you are married and have two kids I believe?
E: No, foreteen! (Laughing)
L: Enough to start your own football team then?
E: Yeah! No serious, I have two girls, one is sixteen and one is eleven.
L: Sixteen?
E: Yeah!
L: But you are only thirty-five?
E: Yeah!
L: Mmmm, you were a busy boy back then, weren’t you? What do they think of having a “cool” dad like that who is on tour most of the time?
E: Exactly like you said, they think it’s very cool. And all their friends are thrilled about it as well.
L: Do they brag about you a lot or do they try to hide your ‘stardom’?
E: No, only their close friends know. The sixteen years old, Stephanie, brought all her friends to the concert in Glasgow. There were like fifteen kids... and some of them with boyfriends to, going like:
ALLRIGHT MAN, COOL!!!
A: Stephanie is almost the same size as you...
L: Well, that’s not too hard. (Both laughing)
A: ...and she looks exactly like Eddie. Eddie with long hair!
L: I want to talk to you about your hobbies now, but you told us already you like to play golf, right Eddie?
E: ...and tennis!
L: Well, I’m not too bad in that either. (A little boasting can’t hurt I thought)
E: You aren’t? Well, I haven’t played for over a year.
L: I used to play a lot on Wimbledon, but I stepped down a bit when I married Andre Agassi.
A: (Laughing) Mmmm...or are you Kournikova?
L: Ooofff... I wish I had those legs!
E: Yeah, me too! (All laughing)
L: Ally, do you have any other hobby’s you’d like to share with us?
A: I like computers. I like the Internet. I’m really into that. I love my Apple Mac and just messing around on computers. Looking around on the net, playing games and doing music on it as well and that kind of things. I love that! And I like reading. I read a lot of books, when I’m riding on the bus. I play the computer or I’ll read books. I love football, I love supporting Celtics. To me, the best day off ever is when there’s a good match and just relax and watch it on TV.
L: The official TEXAS site has his own chat room now. Have you ever visited it and if so, what nickname do you use?
A: I have, well, I’ve been there only once or so and I just used my own name ALLY. I went on and told everybody that I was the guitarist of TEXAS, but nobody would believe me.
L: I can imagine. I have a peak there every now and then and there are always at least 3 Sharleens in there as well! What do you think about NAPSTER and people who download Texas-songs from it?
A: I use NAPSTER myself! (All laughing)
L: Thank god, now I can be honest as well!
A: Once the technology is there to do that, it’s not going to be stopped. You can’t stop it now. Unless you actually start putting codes into the actual recordings.
L: Still it is stealing?
A: It is!
E: But it’s the same as home taping from the radio. We all did that 15 years ago. It’s just in a different format now.
L: But now it’s a real threat for the record companies. No one wanted to buy those stupid tapes, but the quality of these CD’s... You really can sell them!
E: Yeah, and we’re talking about a lot, a lot of money
A: I still think that people, who want to buy our record, still buy our record. I don’t think people are going to download the whole album of NAPSTER. They’ll buy the record anyway.
L: Yeah, I suppose it works both ways.
A: Yeah, I think it has good and bad points. I think it leaves a bit of a bad taste in your mouth when you hear someone like Metallica complaining about it. How much money do they want? How much money does Metallica want to make? For them, to be part of stopping NAPSTER, it probably hangs a lot of music, because there’s a lot of great underground music that gets swapped around NAPSTER as well, and so you get to hear a lot of stuff that otherwise you would never be able to hear. Now that’s not going to happen anymore, probably!
L: And live material, like SUSPISIOUS MINDS. That will probably be on NAPSTER very soon? Somebody is boundd to tape it, somewhere, somehow.
A: Probably has already!
L: I’m almost done guys, just bare with me
A: No, no, we’ve got time, just hurry up. (Both laughing)
L: Let’s talk about your writing skills now. Ally, you told me a little about writing with Shellie. Why don’t you and Eddie write more songs for the band, as you have proven in the past that you are both quite able to? Eddie, you’ve collaborated in writing some marvellous songs, to me, the best songs TEXAS ever made: BLACK EYED BOY, SUMMER SON, WINTERS END...And Ally, HEAR ME NOW, FUTURE IS PROMISSES, SOUTHSIDE...
Don’t Johnny and Sharleen let you collaborate anymore?
E: No, no, it’s not a case of not letting. Just, Johnny and Sharleen come up with newness of the record sound.
A: Basically, Johnny is the one that controls what the band does. I mean, he started the band and it’s his whole thing. And he’s like the driving force behind it. He’s the one who knows where we should go and what we should do, you know what I mean?
L: It’s not a sin to say that he’s the BOSS!
A: No, no, it’s not. He is, yeah!
L: But are you going to collaborate writing any new songs in the near future?
E: Yeah probably. Hopefully. You never know!
L: please do, cause I like your input!
L: I just saw Steve a couple of minutes ago. He’s already your fourth drummer. What in going on behind the scenes? Do you beat these guys to death, or what?
E: yes!
L: Why DID Mykey leave?
E: I think Mykey... I don’t know why he left. I think it was pressure. I think it was outside pressure more then band pressure, but I’m not sure.
L: But it was really on short notice wasn’t it? 2 days before the tour?
E: Well we’re still in touch with him. The whole band is.
A: Mykey always said, (because it was his 40th birthday last January) and he always said he was going to retire from touring when he was 40. He’s been drumming for like...oooo god...since he was a kid! He does a lot of music for his own. He does a lot of writing and stuff and he wants to get into producing as well. So I think, when we were rehearsing for the tour, on the short time we had to rehearse, you get quite pressured. And I think he just couldn’t handle it. He didn’t want that sort of hassle anymore.
L: But it must have been hard for him as well, being the new guy in the band? You know each other for so long...
E: Yeah, it must be. But Steve is cool too. He’s a wicked guy!
L: He only had a few days to rehearse?
E: Yeah, learned the whole set in 2 days. One rehearsal and one sound check. That’s unbelievable! But he’s still a pain in the arse!!!! (Shouting so hard, that Steve must have heard him, sitting in the front of the bus)
L: Well, when I’m talking about the bands line-up, even between the die-hard fans there is still some confusion about the line-up off TEXAS. Who is in and who’s not? I mean like, Tony's in???...officially?
A: Well, the actual band, that's been together, is the four of us, but then Tony has been playing with us a long time. So he's in the band, playing in the band now. You know what I mean. But Tony is a singer as well and he wants to do his own thing as well.
L: Is he still in THE SMILES as well?
E: No, THE SMILES are finished. They did an album and finished.
L: And what about Charlotte and Nicole?
A: Charlotte just came with us recently, replacing Billie, and Nicole has been with us for a couple of years now, three years.
L: But shall we put them in the line-up or not?
E: Pppffff... How would you do that? (Looking at Ally)
A: Like, Nicole is a photographer as well, she does photographs for magazine's and stuff, so that's her main thing. She does this, cause she enjoys doing this as well.
L: We just saw her... she was very late, wasn't she? We crossed her at the elevator, a bit stressed up, with her suitcase in her hand.
E: That’s Nicole!!!
E: It keeps it fresh for us, having different people around.
L: Isn't that hard?
E: No, not at all.
A: In a way, it's a bit of a shame that we’ve been together for so long. It’s a bit tough for new people to get in, but it's good to have fresh people to come in, and just change that and make it fresh again.
L: You're not getting on each other’s nerves?
E: No not that, you can feed off other people as well.
L: New input...new ideas? People doing it different?
E: Yeah, and you learn.
A: Yeah, it keeps it fresh.
E: Yes it does. That’s why we worked with everybody on the albums as well, just to keep our songs fresh
L: Fresh you are. You keep changing all the time. With every album a whole new sound again!!! It's getting better and better. I admit, I'm more a fan of the last, well, three albums. I didn't like the first two albums that much. The quiet songs from those I liked, but really, RICKS ROAD was the turning point for me. I really like that album. I think it's the best one so far.
A: It was a good vibe, doing that album.
E: Yeah
A: It was a good time doing that album, cause we went to Woodstock and all that. It was so great. We just listened to loads and loads of music and went to LA and stayed there for, like a month, stayed up every night, jamming.
E: ...and playing tennis!
L: Now, let’s move on to the hygiene complaints!
E: Hygiene complaints? That MUST be Ally!!
L: Actually, both of you... sorry. I heard this rumour that you Ally, haven’t washed your jeans (with TEXAS written on the bum) the whole tour? How disgusting is that?
A: No!! Not true!
L: Alison from London gave me this inside information?
A: I washed them once (all laughing) I can’t wash them anymore or all the characters will rub off. The X is almost gone now!!!
L: And what about you Eddie? You always wear a hat on stage and I was told that you never wash them either?
E: That’s true! but I don’t wear a hat anymore. It came to the point that it was more like, looking up all the time trying to see who the fuck was talking to me.
L: Well, it looked cool while it lasted.
E: Well, I’ll wash it first and then I’ll wear it some time again.
L: Well, I’m all done. I asked everything I wanted to ask so, on behalf of the SO CALLED FRIENDS fanclub and myself I would like to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us!
(More Small Talk...)
L: Where are you going tonight?
A: We are driving all night, stopping in Lyon tomorrow and then driving on to Marseille.
L: So you’re not staying in Amsterdam tomorrow?
E: No, it’s a really long drive to Marseille, it’s like a 16-hour drive or so, so we have to leave tonight, and sleep in Lyon on Monday night.
L: I thought, that you might do the large distances by plain, but you do everything by bus, don’t you?
E: We don’t really like flying!
L: Are you scared?
E: Yeah!
L: Just like Dennis Bergkamp he? (Famous Dutch football player!)
E: Yeah, we had two very close incidents in the same day, so that was really scary! I’m not doing that again.
L: Well, sometimes, I guess you have to, when you’ve got to go to America.
A: Yeah, when we have no option, but...
L: Are you all that scared of flying? Sharleen as well?
A: Well, Sharleen isn’t to fond of it either, but she has to, like, all the time! I’ll do it sometimes, if it’s like a choice between, staying in the bus for two days ore two hours of flying...I may be do it, sometimes!
L: You’re just like me with elevators. When I have to go to the eighth floor I’m tempted to use them, but four? I’ll probably walk! I really hate them!
A: Well, I don’t like them either!
Ally and Eddie were kind enough to sign some covers, take some pictures with us and give us a little backstage-tour as well. Ally made sure we got our PHOTO and VIP passes and we said our goodbyes the Dutch way...with three kisses. At 19.15 we were back at the venue, ready for the show, to begin at 20.00!
(The End)
