And now I think the trace (unused for 2 years) is also in need of repair.

need rig needed me thinks….::

Do you have a multimeter you could check across the BF cab to see what ohms you are getting. If its shorted it may have caused a problem in the amps.

No expert here but its what i'd do if my amp packed in.

Friday night saw Hurtsfall's first proper headlining gig. 

 

This was at Liquid Light in Nottingham, which is first and foremost a brewery that has a bar and occasional events such as gigs and film nights. I discovered the place as it used to be home to the best vegan burgers in Nottingham. Unfortunately they seem to have moved on and there was no food on when we played.

 

The PA is something else - it looks home-brewed but sounds great - see the photo of support band St Lucifer:

 

 

There were plenty of people about while the bands were setting up and sound checking, but only a few of them opted to come inside once the actual gig started which was a bit disappointing for opener Joshua Todd, but luckily for the us and St Lucifer it filled up as the evening went on. I don't think the location helps, although it's close to the city centre, it's on an industrial estate and quite hard to find if you've not been before.

 

With it being our first headlining set we were able to play for longer than our normal 30-35 minutes, and dusted off a couple of songs that we haven't done for a while. While it would have been nice for a few more people to have been there, once again we were competing with a goth festival in Morecambe and some of our audience were definitely in attendance there.

 

Still it wasn't band for our first self-organised gig and we sold a decent amount of merch afterwards.

 

 

Hopefully I'll be posting some more photos of us playing later in the week when they appear on social media.

 

Next gig is also with St Lucifer in Manchester on Saturday 27th September.

You've missed a trick not calling yourselves 'The ileagles'

 

Bit like the sickparrots but more predatory...

Not long got back. Played a local venue for the second sunday in a row, this time with the Fortunate Sons. Unexpected gorgeous sunny day meant a packed audience and plenty of dancing. Again played best part of 2 hours and 35 songs(!) We were much tighter than our previous gig. I'm getting more comfortable on bvs, so joining in on more songs. The singer caught me out by shoving his mic in my face during Moni Moni...

 

Went for a sunday lunch with my partner beforehand.  A pint of coke, pint of Guinness and a bottle of becks zero on top, with two hours of bouncing around and I have a fine stomach ache. 

 

Lots of people I know there which was nice.

 

I loaded in from the front. The other guys were less lucky. The route to the back is like a scene from the evil dead...

Both gigs were good with nice responsiveness crowds.

Ach you'll be fine. Get the youngsters to do all the hard work. 😂

I do most of the heavy lifts in the Glam band.

I'm very lucky . I didn't have to drive and the band leaders helped move my gear.
