Whiff whaff (or other beverage) of choice: Laphroaig (whisky of choice for any given occasion), Dalwhinnie, Lagavullin (preferably peaty, single malt. Under no circumstances will I be carrying Bells or Teachers).
Best CRAPPPS memory: My favourite moments are in the build-up to each show. The walk or drive between each venue – the banter, the songs, the occasional line run in a chip shop or on a bus.
So it is very difficult to narrow this down to one. Especially as the best memories from each tour tend to be the fuzziest …
One stand-out memory was all of the St George’s Day run 2015. Some amazing crowds with great participation – loads of laughs and generally a great day out.
