Adrenochrome Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Go get 'em fella! Those feelings are to be expected, enjoy the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sounds similar to recent events with myself. It is a great buzz and highly addictive, all the best and enjoy. If (when?) you make a mistake don't do a knowing smile or grimace and no one will notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck!![/quote] +1 Remember - have fun, that's why everybody is there. Also, [i]If you get lost, whatever you do keep playing![/i] Best thing eer pointed out to me was that the punters don't hear the bass anway (as long as you do the above). You'll be great. fatback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethox Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Turn the treble up so the punters DO hear you and if you play a bad note make it a gud'n i.e let that bad boy ring out as though it's supposed to be there!!!! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like everyone else has said, go for it and enjoy it. Ignore any smell you might make and you'll find yourself relaxing and getting more confident as the set progresses. When its over you'll wish you could go on all night. There's no other feeling like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
