wateroftyne Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, thats our first soundcheck done. We have more run-throughs later with the guests, and the orchestra. Here's my view... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What a view! (Although how much will you be able to see when the stage lighting is on and the house lights go down?) I'm a little bit jealous. Have a great evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm still waiting for that set-list Michael; you know it makes sense to have a dep waiting in the wings 'just in case' you have an unfortunate... accident! Well dome mate, look forward to the post gig report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Wowsers, how have I missed this thread? Great! Hope it's a great buzz! ***insanely jealous*** Even though I couldn't hope to be that lucky. Or that competent! Can't wait for your post-gig report!

wateroftyne Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Mornin' all! That was unbelievable... the guests were amazing, and I loved every second of it. I got through it with no calamities, I'm happy to say! I used my Precision (w/flats) most of the time, and my Jazz (w/rounds) for the poppy tunes. MK was a pleasure to work with... we had him for an hour or so in the afternoon - I expected him to turn up, do the check, and leave, but he really spent time getting to know is, and making suggestions. He asked me to play on the intro to Going Home, which I hadn't learned, so I had to find a quiet corner and scribble down the chords. We had MK [i]and[/i] Ruby Turner for Try a Little Tenderness, complete with brass, and it kicked arse. Doing 'All the Time in the World' with Ben Ottewell out of Gomez, with the orchestra swirling around me will stick in my mind forever. Here's another pic I nicked off Twitter...

KevB Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Good stuff, hope the rest of the tour goes smoothly for ya. Heard and/or seen a few interviews with MK and he comes across as very down to earth but knows what he wants and strives to be as good as he can, can't ask for much more.
