Another very early rise to get to Gatwick this morning. Surprisingly not hung over after Simon Sarin and I had depleted the Stamford Bridge hospitality bar of their whiskey last night. Speaking of which when I woke up around 5am was greeted with some hilarious texts from him, about the Rolling Stones numbing the journey and waking up on a night bus on the other side of London!

Met up with Matt at Gatwick and we flew onto Glasgow where we had to wait around for a car rental as the one given to us had a flat tire. Once Craig joined us and a new car was sorted we drove to the Ardrhu Holiday Cottages about 2 hours north of Glasgow in a village called Onich.

Bring Me The Horizon were writing their new record there so once we arrived with the fading light rushed an outdoor shoot before then finishing inside. Shoot went very well as the guys were their usual up for anything attitude, such a stunning location and would have been good to do more outside.

Once finished while the band had a meeting and played some new songs to Craig and Matt I edited, and sent the photos right away as there was a very tight deadline on it. Look for it next Wednesday!

After finishing up went for a curry in Fort William and then drove back to Glasgow which was decided would be easier for Matt than having to get up silly early to do the drive in the morning. Had a great chat on the way back and then crashed out at the Holiday Inn right beside the airport. Bit of deja vu as it was a BMTH job last October where we stayed at the exact same hotel...
