Last night it was the Bendricks Rock gig at the Earl Haig.
We had a good one. A venue where people know their music and expect good bands. Not quite rammed (apparentlyfor my brother's band lastweekbthey had to tske allthe rables out!... they arecrhulars though and this was our first time). Even so it was pretty full. Loads of banter, dancing and vocal appreciation. Lead guitarist switched off instead of standby on his valve amp so when he switched on for encores the fuse blew. We only realised after starting superstition so it was a bitof an improvised jam. My Joyo XVI helped thicken up the sound.
We'd forgotten a vocal monitor so the rhythm guitarist's spare, a snall peavey, was used. We pressed it into service for our final song.
As well as very happy punters and venue, we got some nice comments from a fellow bassist as well as a couple of local guitar legends.
We left very happy that the recent sequence of gigs has done a lot to establish a fan base for us.
