Saturday night was a local WMC. Local to me, that is, the rest of the band had a bit further to travel. I'd played here about 15 years ago with a club band and remembered it having a nice big stage. I think it was the first experience for the rest of the band of having the bingo between the first and second sets. Load in and out wasn't the greatest as it's a longer walk than I'd like, but with four people doing it it's not so bad. We didn't use our frame to hang the banner from as there was a rail above the light curtain at the back which was a convenient height.
Following my experience with the originals band where we used my Alto TS408s as monitors and they proved more suited than the Alto TS308s, I swapped roles and used the 308s for FOH and the 408s as monitors. That all went well. Sound was good on stage and off.
The gig went well. Not too many cockups, none really noticeable. I used the Sei Original 5 headless fretless and the Antoniotsai 5 dragon bass, through a Lekato WS-90 wireless and Zoom MS-60B to Tecamp Puma 900 and GR Bass AT212. Footwear was, as always, unbranded memory foam trainers from Ebay.
Edit to add: they've just contacted us and asked us to go back there in August. I think that's the measure of a successful gig.
