Can you bring a stool and sit down ?

 

I'm not sure when they'll give me the

" ok" to play sitting or standing.

TTFC's second gig last night at The Garden, Chorlton. 

 

Venue used to be Font Bar but has just changed hands, so all the signs still say Font.  They're just getting live music up and running, so there isn't a ready made audience there yet.  Fortunately it's a local gig for two of us so we brought quite a few people, to the extent where I knew almost everybody in the place!  It's got a lot of potential once it gets a reputation and people know there's music on.  Bar staff were super chilled and helpful, always a bonus and never taken for granted.

 

We played well, although I made more little mess ups than I should have. The drummer is fettling the recordings, so I'll be able to agonise over them at my leisure soon despite being the only one who noticed on the night.  Two 1hr+ sets and 30+ songs (most of them new to me) that haven't all embedded into the muscle memory yet. 

 

Gear was Fender Japan Kazuki Arai Jazz 5 -> HX Stomp -> GR One 350 -> PA.  Footwear was Vans classic lace ups.

 

A couple of phone clips from friends. If anyone can figure out how to let me resize them please shout up!

 

 

 

Wow! This is cool. It would be hard to find a female lead singer like that in my area.

Thanks Blue. Yep, she's a find, I got lucky with this band. Still early days but I think we'll get some great gigs once the ball is rolling.

 

Hope your ankle heals up quickly.

Whats the best way to clean beer out of a mixing desk? 

 

Probably says enough about how our gig went last night! 🙄

 

Our guitarist will need to give his pedalboard a good clean as well. This is not the first time we've had 'problems' at this venue so I'm going to suggest that we cancel the remaining gigs we have there. It's really not worth the hassle.

I won't be gigging for a while. Turns out I broke my ankle. I'm scheduled for surgery Friday morning. 

 

Not fun.

Jings Daryl sorry to hear that mate.

I would add that i toured with a broken leg in plaster cast. It can be done provided your bandmates help with your gear, or you just hire a roadie as i did.
