How was your gig last night?

If you ever get the chance to try it have a Jura Duerachs Own 16yr old. Now very rare to find. So easy to drink.

Nice bass tone. Is that just backline or PA too ?

I’ll give it a search Dave….i always like a single malt to wind down after a gig. Personal fave is the MacAllan - why did it get so expensive.

Just a smallish club Dave so this is just backline; MB little Marcus 500 with 2 x NY121. The Ray can take a bit of taming but it was ok in this room.

My band played one of our two annual freebie gigs at the Globe in Somerton. We do these in return for them letting us use their functions room whenever we need to rehearse. Last night we were in the main pub area and as usual it got pleasantly crowded. Although all 4 of us are gig-hardened, the band is relatively new and it was good to feel that our improvement trend continues. The steps are small now but still satisfying.

 

And at least they have a big car park round the back!

Me and the singer (it's a duo with backing tracks) turned up to the venue, a pub in Kent, on Friday night... and they had no idea we were playing.

 

We had been booked through an agent. The agent hadn't been told that the manager of the pub had left recently. The new manager had never heard of the agent. 

 

They were apologetic, but no hard feelings as it wasn't their fault. They're going to book us in another date in the future. 

 

So we had a curry instead and then home for an unexpected early night!

We arrived at our gig in Ulverston last night to discover that we hadn't brought microphones, mic leads or mic stands! We borrowed one off the pub, another from an audience member who lived around the corner, and another off a mate of mine who was playing in a different pub 10 minutes walk away (a Shure Beta 58 too). Tiny pub, cramped performance space, absolutely rammed with people, couldn't move for bodies. Great gig in the end, but I wished I'd taken a bigger bass cab despite the tiny space we were playing in.

I wish! No, that's the Unicorn. The Globe's car park is tiny and parking outside the front is a lottery. Luckily the Unicorn is a couple of minutes' walk so we park there after we've offloaded on the road outside the Globe.

Ah yes, my bad, we have only played the unicorn!
