wateroftyne Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi all I did a gig at Newcastle City Hall last night... the night had a Christmas thing goin' on, and they pulled out the stops for the encore. I was very distracted, and may have played a wrong note. or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Anyway, round here Santa always comes (oo-er!) dressed as a snowman. He is a big fan of Aled Jones don't you know? Edited December 6, 2010 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised anyone made it to the gig, I was walking past the city hall today by chance and the snow outside has turned into a sheet of dirty ice, and the road has been coned off from car access!

dave_bass5 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Shame you were a bit too high up on the Riser ;-). We did a gig with some Burlesque dancers a few years ago. What we saw in our shared dressing room was one of "those" experiences that never leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, we got about 1400 in, which is canny. I nearly set my neck putting my gear back in the car afterwards, mind. Glad I used the BFB Compact... anything heavy would have been a nightmare.

The Bass Doc Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hardly surprising you had a big riser. Apparently the blonde on the end loves bass players .......but Brendan said he would still put a good word in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
