Probably my last post here for a while.
Last night was the final Jump The Shark gig after 13 years. As I've been reading on other threads, finding a new band is tricky, and I've been incredibly lucky with this one.
We finished at our favourite venue, it was packed and they were dancing from the start. A load of our mates had come along and the atmosphere was brilliant.
We played well. Very, very well. Everyone found an extra gear. Sound was good, we were really cooking.
And then.
Halfway through set 2, a drunken punter tripped over the monitor and knocked the singer's mic right into her face.
At first we thought it was a broken cheekbone. Fortunately not, but she had a big cut just above her eye, a pounding head and the beginnings of a quality shiner.
Gig over.
Not the way we envisaged finishing. Everyone was incredibly frustrated, but nothing we could do. No way we could finish the set as none of the rest of us could hold a vocal well enough.
Bugger.
Anyway, videos from before the stoppage.
