It was Belfast-a-gogo on our second none demo day of the tour – afternoon busts, evening photo missions and a last night drinking session at Lavery’s were all in order. Peep the snaps, more to follow…

Dlynn setting up a fresh one as only he can - footage soon. Represent!

Odd that this is so rare in England - the tour drink of choice. Get some whilst you can.

Sibling rivalry or brotherly love?

Art n' that, right?

Another profile pic for The Ogre - proper Hogwarts.

Coming soon to a HMV near you - "The Acoustic Hammerhouse Experience", featuring all your favourite Heartbreakers classics as you've never heard them before...

Jake getting brought down a peg or two has been a daily occurance on the trip - here he is on a final night beatdown from Nicky.

It's a MonkeyBird mystery?

The youth are in trouble...

The “Shiner Ship Tour” – day five blog

Following the Touchwood demo on Sunday night, the Shiner crew spent the evening in Cork before heading north for a return visit to Dublin and Greystones, then venturing even further arriving back at Hotel De Clynn in Belfast this evening/morning depending on which way you look at it.

The demo leg of the trip is over, so lets see what the next few days have in store for us…

Denis and Stu - today was definitely the day after the night before for these two. Cork got messy...

Maps are fun and Jake can be a menacing little shit at times.

Everything a van full of skateboarders could ever need + Jerome on sandwich artist duties...

Beans near toast - a tour breakfast favourite.

Nicky does Porto - post technical battle re-hydration in Dublin.

Yeah, todays blog post is pretty food heavy - this one's for Leo Smith.

Rob Ya Pockets - you know what time it is.

Two beasts and a couple o' milkshakes - Phil Evans and Richard Gilligan. Click their names to check out their work. Top geezers...

The weekend saw the Shiner Ship crew head south from Derry for the final two demos in Dublin and Cork, picking up Nicky “Hammerhouse” Howells along the way.

Peep some snapshots from the past couple of days now, and keep checking back for updates until the rabble fly home later in the week…

We had a brief stop off in Derry on Saturday morning - this is a photo of the Gable Wall Mural in Bogside, based around the unrest of August 1969.

Manhead, Denis and Stu - Bogside again. Stu was hyped!

Nicky and Stu's candle lit bromance meal time.

Our Sunday morning session at Bushy was slightly ruined by a massive puddle...

...and Conhuir potentially breaking his wrist.

To top it all off Stu managed to completely write off his truck.

Pre Dublin street mission chill time with Gav, Conhuir, Denis and Nicky.

Day two of the Shiner Ship Tour saw the crew roll through a couple of street spots around Dublin, before heading over to Derry for a four hour demo at Rosy’s Skatepark.

Browse the days snapshots below and keep an eye on the Sidewalk Twitter for regular updates from the road.

Conhuir's landlord visit meant an early start for day two.

Jake brought Beahead along for breakfast.

Rained out in Belfast. This thing looked dope though.

41 miles to Derry.

An epic four hours later, the Rosy's demo was over.

Jay Dord's arm wrestling challenge was going off over dinner.

Stu's either in Free Derry or The Land Of Nod. You decide...
