How was your gig last night?

Dave, I probably should have said bad performances. We're very selective about what gigs we take and have no problem saying " no ".

I see what you mean Daryl. We spent a long time rehearsing before we started gigging with the Glam band.

I think its helped us be consistent with our gigs.

I've been slacking again due to the venue we've just opened. I'll do a thread on that when I get time. 

 

On Saturday night we played the Lexington in Islington. Coming from Stoke we had to pickup a guitar that was left behind a few weeks before in Chessington. A total of 6 hours crammed into Vantanamo (named because I don't fit into the van, and so have to spend hours in twisted positions) had me pretty grumpy. Load in up a huge fire escape almost finished me off. The headliner was old friends Abdoujaparov, and I managed to relax while they sound-checked. The venue is very cool, classic old London venue. The set went very well, we won over some new fans, and I left the stage soaked in sweat. Ace gig! Then I had the pleasure of sampling the bourbon bar downstairs. Four Roses and Buffalo Trace were delicious. Here's a photo

 

 

The next morning we were up bright and early to travel up to Katie Fitzgerald's in Stourbridge where we played a matinee show. Load-in time was 1pm. We arrived at 1:10pm. The owner who actually lives there let us in at 1:30pm 🤷‍♂️

 

The place was full of our fans singing at the top of their lungs and we loved every second of it.

Yes, that was the term! Otherwise known as late/slow/unprofessional! 😂

Sounds a bit like Welsh time - "I'll be there now, in a  minute".

I'm looking forward to this Saturday.  I'll get a chance to hang out with a bunch of our local musicians.  I'm glad we're going on first. It's a beautiful room on the marina in Port Washington.
