Pre-gig rituals


Tee

Recommended Posts

Set up, wander round talking to bar staff, soundman, promoter, landlord etc. Nod politely at arriving punters (who usually scurry nervously off into a corner). Not really a ritual, just kind of a way to 'own the room' - and relax.

5 mins pre, nip outside for a crafty cigarette. Go back in, go on.

Well, i'm pretty much alike the rest. The big difference for me is remembering to take medication for my back (nerves). If i don't do that i'll have a compulsary need to pee for the whole set and the run up to it, even during soundchecks and general lounging. I can't drink anything before hand, bar water and i can't really get myself in the zone unless the place has a nice atmosphere. Usually though, being Edinburgh, nowhere really does.
