I did it
16 shows in 16 cities in 24 hours
I don’t care if some people don’t think this record is official or not
So so so grateful to everyone who helped this happen

Fuck yeh!🥇🥇
However the press spins it, -today- is a phenomenal day for GR venues, DIY promotors, independent musicians and anyone who ever got goosebumps at one of those 'daft half gigs'

That's a quote from my conversation with the CEO of MVT

That's what they think of us.

It’s not a proper bank holiday without a free club night @firebugbar – turn up on Sunday for May Day Eve celebrations. Free entry from 1130pm tinyurl.com/yexursnw #DMUtop10

don’t be upset about the mvt rules, I’m not competing for their acknowledgement. Although some of the shows are paid I’m not taking any money and I’m giving it to the venues, support acts, to pay for staff (like sound engineers) or to charity so I don’t think I’m eligible anyway

HALF WAY THROUGH!!

It’s not a proper bank holiday in Leicester without a free club night @firebugbar – turn up on Sunday for May Day Eve celebrations. Free entry from 1130pm tinyurl.com/yexursnw #DMUtop10

1/4 of the way down to 16 shows in a day
And we are somehow still ON TIME!!

Thanks to everyone who has come out so far and also donated for a poster

Here it is, the final gig poster
Tomorrow at midday I start my unofficial record attempt for most cities performed in 24 hours
Here you can see I’m attempting 16 cities
A number so large nobody has yet been courageous enough to attempt
I am totally blagging this
So wish me luck x
