A lyric by a York indie-rock band took on fresh meaning over the weekend after airport woes caused by Storm Boelo delayed them in Ireland.
Shed Seven, who performed in Belfast and Dublin last Friday and Saturday, referenced the line from their 1996 single On Standby on their return to Great Britain this morning (Monday, October 26).
Writing on the Shed Seven Facebook page, a statement coupled with an onboard photo of frontman Rick Witter and guitarist Paul Banks, read: "In the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Back in Blighty on the 6am flight, a day late, the wrong airport, no sleep.
"Safe travels to anyone left behind!
"Worth it though...thank you Ireland!"
It came after Storm Boelo forced the cancellation of flights from Dublin to Leeds Bradford, amid wider cancellations and diversions at the Yorkshire airport and across the UK.
Shed Seven performed at Belfast Mandela Hall on Friday and at Vicar Street in Dublin on Saturday.
Fans of the band also posted their revised travel arrangements below the post today, with one saying: "Ended up having to book the ferry from Belfast to Liverpool this morning then train it back.
"Fantastic gig on Friday though so well worth the extra aggro - also loving Belfast and the ppl - also met some great Shedders along the way too! It’s been emotional!"
Another said: "So pleased we swapped our plans for Dublin to Belfast.
"Choppy flight back but at least we got back.
"Thank you for an amazing gig - see you in Bournemouth, oh, and York stadium."
Shed Seven has three more gigs lined up in October celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band's second studio album 'A Maximum High', which included the single On Standby, which spent four weeks in the Top 40, peaking at number 12.
Earlier this month, the band announced a huge homecoming gig at the York LNER Community Stadium at the end of May next year.
