PHOTOS: Ryan Sheridan’s Tour of China – Day 9

We wish we were there.

Ryan Sheridan will play our Sunday Sessions Live 2 gig at Whelan's on October 22 (free tickets here). Ryan is currently on tour in China and he's been keeping us updated every step of the way.

Day 9.

"Spirits are high in China. This place keeps on giving. There's no time to be any other way than happy.

"It's because every person here gives off that vibe. People are happy. Nicky wanted to return the vibe by giving free hugs."

"After a long day playing in front of the Mayson booth at the Shanghai Music Expo, we went and played another gig in a cool venue in downtown Shanghai called Onstage."

"It's still crazy to see a venue on the other side of the world fill up with people wanting to come and see you play.

"The gig was great. You forget sometimes that you're actually in China, you have to pinch yourself in these situations."

"From playing in the expo to such an alternate crowd and then playing for a dedicated crowd just for you!!"

"We've finished the gig and we've just arrived at a restaurant for more Chinese cuisine, and holy god it's the spiciest thing I think I've ever had in my whole life."

"Jimmy doesn't usually eat spicy food, but it's rude to refuse anything in this country so he's eating it and we'll have to see how what it does to him!"
