Ah, that's great to hear. Everyone was very welcoming.

 

Up early the next morning for a rainy 7-hour drive to the Laundry Theatre in Bowness the following night. Another lovely venue.

 

 

...and then back to 'proper' work for 8am Monday morning.

 

Even so, I'd do it again tomorrow.

 

 

That's an unusual layout Michael. How did it go soundwise ?

Absolutely fine - we just kept the volume down and let the PA do the work. Matt, our lovely sound chap, is a genius.

Shoes were a pair of very wet brown Clarks ones that need a bit of attention now. We've a couple of months off now until our next gig in November, so plenty of time for string changes and learning new songs.

 

And drying your shoes out.

We're doing an outside 12:00-2:30 full Maple Road gig this Saturday at The Harley Motor. We'll be leaving at 9:00. That's very early for me.

 

This one will be a little  different Usually we do our acoustic offering inside 5:00-7:30.

 

I'm hoping there's some type of special event to ensure a decent crowd.  I hope we can keep our streak going.  We've had 3 really good gigs in a row.

Have a good one Daryl.

First gig in 5 wks tomorrow night with the Glam band. Leaving the house 3pm for an 8:30pm start and 11pm finish. Two 1hr sets so should be a fun night. Our new PA company is doing the PA so that saves me humphing those blooming large QSC cabs in and out of my car especially at the end of the night. Should be back home for approx 2am. An 11hr day for me but i do miss it when we have these long gaps between gigs plus my wee plucking fingers get soft and will be painful by the end of the gig unless i really take it easy and concentrate on playing lightly.

That'll last for approx 3-4 songs then i just get carried away and into the zone. 😂
