Who WOULDN'T be this happy when you're performing on the grounds of a palace (or booked the show ~ that's tour manager, Mary Beth, with Simon, Bob, & Pete) and know that as soon as you come off the stage you have delicious food waiting for you?! The background might look stark now but wait 'til you see how much better it gets!
Well...it didn't get better TOO fast because...
Pete is looking like he wishes he brought his OWN food and...
Bob is wondering where the food even IS! (There isn't any really...YET)
You would think with a fancy door all your own like THIS
and a fancy assortment like THIS (even if served in a paper cup)
that there would be a big FEAST made JUST for you right around here somewhere.
THERE IS.
If you're from MY school of thought, which is you can DEFINITELY live on dessert alone (especially these days there are some VERY healthy desserts!) there was, in fact, a holiday dinner waiting JUST for the Rats. Look at THIS
⬇️
That's a reason to live, in fact! It's definitely a reason to RUSH through a show! But as we all know, the Rats most certainly didn't do that! They gave their ALL to everyone at Scone Palace. Everyone at Scone Palace gave their ALL back! And when it was time to say goodnight, it was time to dive in to this AMAZING homemade cake! Layers of chocolate with chocolate candy on TOP of that?! It's no wonder that Paul Cuddeford hung around until every last Rat had packed his things and headed back to board the train home 🚂, looked in both directions down the hallway, and when the coast was clear, straight out SLID the rest of this cake into his guitar case!
If you enjoyed this luxury view of Backstage With The Boomtown Rats in Perth, Scotland, who KNOWS what awaits them in Gloucestershire next month!
And if you just enjoy views of the Rats, in general, be sure to come back to Citizens of Boomtown tomorrow & Friday! A J Hindshaw didn't just partake of fancy loos at Let's Rock Wales, she took a few photos, too. Enough to last the rest of the week! See you tomorrow...But not before you get to have cake for breakfast!

Simon obviously expecting Chinese food as came prepared with sticks. And Darren having to shout due to Simon having his in-ears plugged in 😂
Love it, mayor Jennifer! Bob is so handsome looking for that food♥️ One day I hope to get a message from Bob or meet him virtually or in person one day, I know it will happen one day🥰❤️😍♥️
Great behind the scenes post. Amazing cake, courtesy of the lady many will have met who sells the merch, had courgette/zucchini in the mix apparently 😳.
And for anyone who may have been there way back when, Mary Beth did their tour management on US dates back in the day.
Thanks Paul/Jen for sharing
