And they think they're more important than the band. Full of themselves too.

Yip...it was a mixed crowd but he was playing mainly for the younger ones.....that said he played some stuff from TTF which was out in 1993!! But folk started leaving when he went on after us. There was still enough to finish the night with although we had to drop a few songs to take it up to finishing time at the pub!

Last night (just), played with Nine Lives at the Pittendrum Bar in Sandhaven - a wee villiage near Fraserburgh.  Unfortunately, it wasn't very busy, maybe 15 folk in at the peak.  The apologetic barmaid told us later on that since they had booked us, a bunch of stuff got organised in the "big smoke" of Fraserburgh which may have contributed to the lack of bodies.  It was probably for the best, because I was far from my best.  Having had only 4 hours sleep and basically waking up to go to the gig (work's Christmas do the night before - don't ask), I was so tired that as well as making a few pretty horrible flubs, I forgot to hook up my extension cab - did the whole gig with just the 250W combo and single speaker.  Didn't even notice until packing up time when I couldn't figure out where my speakon>speakon cable had gone.  Bloody hell.

 

This dopey so-and-so played the Neep One followed by the DeArmond Jetstar (the wonky boi) into a single Markbass CMD combo sitting on top of a completely ornamental New York 121 cab.  FFS.

Nothing to do with bingeing the advent calendar?  😁

Nah, as you will see in the whisky thread, I've been lagging behind with that. But yes, I was rather inebriated on Friday night.

The Old Inn in Littlethorpe is tiny. We're used to squeezing in there so have learnt to travel as light as possible.

 

 

The Stingish bass was back out. I think I prefer the simplicity of a 2-band EQ. As you can see it was a bit cramped.

 

 

The night started a little bit quiet but soon got much busier. In this place we nearly always have people encroaching or knocking the mic stands as they pass by. However I can heartily recommend the fluorescent pink duck tape! It kept everyone at bay. I don't think most people consciously noticed it but it was quite amusing to see the effect.
