Today’s selections are from The Hilton, an epic 3 years 2013/14/15 including the only time we did a 3 day show and hired every room in the place! Great venue until the sound checks bought the ceiling down in the bar 😂 and the neighbors stopped us using the load out doors 🤦‍♂️ #brightontattooconvention (at Hilton Brighton Metropole) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_45jinnlfg/?igshid=1dduxx8ej53yb

The Racecourse years, 2008-2012 the first five shows, we loved/hated that venue, stupid layout, rubbish lifts, no A/C, impossible to draw a decent map, 1 tiny bar, freezing outside, boiling indoors... and the snow ! But we do also miss it and those early years very much 🙏❤️ #brightontattooconvention (at Brighton Racecourse) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1wAE3nlr-/?igshid=14jvd6peom7or
