Steve Harris describes the appeal and work of small-venue touring
Steve Harris describes the work behind British Lion's small-venue tours in Kerrang!'s report from Newcastle's Anarchy Brew Co. The band travels on a bus, does its own daily soundchecks and plans routes to avoid unnecessary miles between shows. Harris values the close contact with an audience and worries about venues disappearing, citing Plymouth's demolished Hub. The tour ends with five nights at the Cart & Horses, one of Maiden’s earliest venues.
