Well there was only the one gig last weekend which was at the Red Cat. Place was heaving when we arrived but it was people watching the Liverpool/Newcastle football game of course. Needless to say quite a few left when it finished.
Anyway, we set- up the gear and experienced a strange effect. I was tuning my guitar and sound was coming out from somewhere. This was rather odd as my Amplifier was on standby (in other words off). A bit of investigation revealed that it was coming from the Pub speakers, turned out they had a wireless microphone used for quiz nights and it was on my guitar frequency. Turning their receiver off solved that one. Never had that before and you think you’ve seen it all. We live and learn.
Gig itself went well and whilst not the most visibly or audibly appreciative crowd the feedback afterwards was all positive.
I was home less than five minutes after leaving there which really doesn’t happen very often and made a nice change.
I really must change my strings this week.
Last night I was out filming the next of my “gear” videos which this time had me a little bit out of my comfort zone, sitting down and not holding my guitar! Well we’ll have to see how it turns out.
I know Dave is quite busy at the moment jetting around the world so not sure when he will find time to do the editing, still there is no rush.
This week we play a couple of gigs, nothing tomorrow (Friday) as yet.
Saturday we play a new venue to us, The Hare & Hounds in Clayton Le Moors – Accrington.
Sunday we return to the Griffin in Newton Le Willows/Earlstown which was a great gig last time.
So until then, register on our mailing list and the chance to win the ZZ top tickets but more importantly Keep Rockin’
