Played at Drakes in Maidstone on Saturday, and it was the first gig I’d had with this band since December.
It went well overall, but we were playing outside in the courtyard and it was freezing! I had to put a jumper back on a couple of songs in. There were plenty of people there, but mainly they stayed by the patio heaters rather than come up dancing. As usually happens, those people came to life at 11.30 just as we were heading towards the end of the set!
The outside area had had a makeover since we last played there, and decking had been installed, along with a raised stage area which was nice.
A good, but cold gig overall. We finished with a rocked up version of Livin La Vida Loca which was quite amusing.
I’d also installed some Schaller strap locks earlier in the day and was pleased with them.
