First gig last night...

[Cyrene]

Hi. Had my first step onto a stage last night.
It wasn't with the rock/pop band I've been rehearsing with for the last 6 weeks though, this was a folk/open mic night at a well established club that takes place in the folk capital of the north east!
Well, I know there's lots of support for folk music nationally and to be honest they do allow a wide range of stuff to be played.
I never thought to myself a year ago, I'd be onstage performing duets of Wilco tunes on an acoustic with people nodding their heads in the audience. Nervous as hell, had to come up with some bass lines myself (as there aren't any tabbed!) and fluffed a couple of bars at the end of one tune, but what an experience.

Excellent! Nice feeling, isn't it?

North-East of England, or Scotland?

[Len_derby]

Well done!
There's no feeling quite like it is there?
Got the bug now?

[Cyrene]

Yeah it is, sorry mate, north east of England. East coast at Loftus, Station Hotel to be precise. Some big names turn out; Vin Garbutt etc.

Top points for getting up, bonus points for Wilco tunes.
Bet you can`t wait to go again hey?

thanks. Love Wilco, seeing them in Manchester Academy in autumn.
We are planning on doing some early Wilco stuff too; [i]Far, Far Away[/i] etc.
Also some Elbow, Fleet Foxes, Midlake and Shins.
Looking forward to it all!
