I just wanted to report what a cracking gig on Sunday for our band In For The Kill.
A strange start time of 6pm? finished for 8pm. It does have it's merits though! getting home, gear away, bathed and downstairs with a drink at 10pm that's almost unheard of!
The set list was the same as we did last Thursday just slightly switched around because we've had no rehearsal in-between.
I got there early, it's a small pub, small stage, and there were just 4 people in when I arrived. I was very dubious that anyone would turn up as we were playing that early and given it is a Bank Holiday.
I got set up and the geezer behind the bar said "the place usually gets filled up with folk by about 5.30" I thought yeah right! By 5pm, there were still around 4 people in, but he was right! by the time we went on at 6pm, there were loads in and it was pretty full as we started playing into the first set. Our new drummer Bill played well again, and our guitarist Sacko played his arse off. We went down brill, got an encore, they wanted more but we hadn't done any more songs! and we were told to be done by 8pm anyway.
Bonus? yep, we got £50 more money than they said they were gonna pay us and we got re-booked for January 22nd...result! a good time was had by all. I have to say they were a friendly bunch in the place as well, it was a real pleasure to play to such an appreciative audience....spot on! We could use more gigs like that!
