Smokie spend a lot of time touring.
Here are some photos showing what life on the road is like.
You may notice that it involves a lot of waiting around in airports
and hotels.
Another
day - another airport. Terry and Mike checking in at 5am for their
flight.
Smokie's
crew travel with a lot of luggage. About 400kg on this trip!
Mick
chats with manager John while the crew wait.
Into
the executive lounge to watch TV and have a coffee.
Smokie
normally travel in a coach on tour but occasionally use hire cars.
Getting
all that luggage into the cars can be difficult.
Getting
a bite to eat on the road.
Smokie
stay in some beautifull hotels like this one with its own golf course.
Mike
& Terry seem pleased to have arrived.
The
crew don't have time to relax - they are straight off to the gig...
...to
set up the sound and lights.
The
gig gets under way and the guys do their stuff.
Autograph
signing for the fans waiting at the stage door.
This
guy seems to have enjoyed it! But who is he?
Back
to the hotel and chance to get something to eat...
and drink...
...and
have some fun.
Check-out
the next morning...
...and
waiting for the coach...
...without
getting fed-up.
Perhaps
Mick didn't want his picture taking.
Watch
out Mike - don't walk into that post!
Mike
& Terry say goodbye to their promoter in Norway.
