Well day one was a cracker. It was our home gig, Brighton, and we managed to get nearly 100 people out on a cold, slightly damp Monday night.
On this tour all three acts have equal billing. So will play each slot on the bill three times. For our home gig we closed the show. Was a little worried, as the act before us, Italian Eliana Cargnelutti was pretty damned good. Her bass player and drummer were several leagues above everyone else on the tour. No need to have worried though, as we pulled off a strong set and the partisan crowd loved us!
To make things easy, we have provided drums and bass rig. Really nice to hear my own rig being played at decent club volumes. Eliana's bass player is using a nice looking, Fiesta Red with tort pickguard Precision - I'll get more details later, and Zoe Green's is using a fabulous looking and sounding Supro short scale.
London tonight, Water Rats if anyone is local.
