How was your gig last night?

After a whole year with no gigs and auditioning for nine bands, joining six, only to quit four of them, I started 2026 with a gig! New years day at Tynemouth squash club. My new brit pop project Rewind played our first gig to sadly mixed reviews, we knew we weren't at gigging level but the club had been let down by another band and 3/4 of the band (not me, I'm fat) are members so we were drafted. Some major blunders (me shouting chords at the guitarist during a disastrous 'I predict a riot' was a highlight) but overall I'm not too beaten up about it. We knew we weren't really ready and there were more good moments than bad, there's definitely the bones of a good band there. 

 

Rig: G&L tribute sb2, shure wireless, quad cortex, pair of qsc k12.2. 

Hpf: 130hz

Shoes: hiking boots

Rating: 4/10.

 

 

 

 

In at the deep end will get you ready far quicker than rehearsals. You soon learn not to make mistakes and put more effort in at home. That's been my experience over the years.

You now have the first gig under your belt so polish up on the set and get out there and just enjoy it.

All the very best for 2026.
