How was your gig last night?

[Paddy777]

Had a very busy weekend and a break from the norm with some great dep gigs. Fri night & Sat morning depped in a production of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, a very professional show and a chance to flex my reading chops, I then went straight from that gig on Saturday 120 miles down to a Holiday Park near Scarborough to dep for a band playing at an end of season party to finish off a very busy Saturday. Quite a contrast but some fun tunes to play. The theatre show was in a really nice old Theatre in Newcastle city centre, I took a few photos from the pit where I was sitting, it really gives the place a proper old timey feel rather than some of the sterile newer places.

On Saturday we played at Gagarin205 in Athens - the venue looked fantastic lit up at night. Sadly I only have a daytime pic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and an aerial view of the soundcheck in moody black and white:

 

 

 

 

and a view of the audience from the stage:

 

 

 

 

We sold 1200 tickets.

The venue was full.

Punters were being turned away!

We had a few technical gremlins but overall it was a successful (and profitable) adventure.

 

My kit for the night:

EBMM Sterling 4HH> Shure GLXD16+ wireless> Empress compressor> Cog CE-2B clone(some songs)>  DHA EQ >DI Box (split off to PA) > locally Ampeg B5R > Ampeg 4x10

 

 

PS - Athens was full of Scotsmen attending the football:

Nice one.

How did you manage to get that gig ?

Bet the drive home was a bummer 😂

I played there a few years back, great venue.
 

Afterwards the rest of the band got tear-gassed by the police when outside for a (very inefficient it turned out) breath of fresh air.
