Blow out at 90
When we were on our way back from the studio in Sheffield, one of the rear tyres on Bryn’s metro literally blew up on the A55 (near Towyn). It is a testimony of (we believe) God’s divine protection that we somehow Bryn managed to control the car and it almost kept in a straight line. Plus when we pulled over, there was literally like a foot of the hard shoulder left.
It took us ages to actually get out the car, then we took photos of the deceased tyre. Bryn’s mum got hold of the police for us and they came within like half an hour - fair play. Then we found that Bryn’s spare tyre didn’t actually fit (it was for the new metro type). So we had to wait for ages for the breakdown to come and tow us. In the meantime, probably because we were just SLIGHTLY tired, we started a few jam sessions, including apparently painful rendition (according to the Police) of Amazing Grace acappella (and shaker).
The breakdown vehicle arrived eventually then somehow the guy located a spare metro wheel on a farm somewhere in Towyn or Abergele. When we got back to the yard where we’d towed the metro to, we found this wheel also didn’t fit, so the guy switched the tyres from the random wheel found in a farmyard to the now seriously dodgy rear metro wheel formerly on Bryn’s car.
We will be going back to the studio sometime in the next month, to complete Bryn’s guitar parts and vocals. Everything else is recorded (apart from shofar parts!).
