First gig with new band this Friday :)

[Blademan_98]

The Underdogs are finally playing their first gig on Friday.

After going through 3 guitarists and 2 singers over the last 8 months, we have got it together and someone is paying us to play!

It's a covers band and we have all been around the block

After going over the set on Sunday, we just jammed and it all felt good.

Hopefully my hand will stay functioning for the whole gig...........

I'm one happy chap

That's excellent. It's always a buzz, isn't it?

Good luck, fingers crossed it's a good one.

Well, I have just got in after a really great gig

Not note perfect but the crowd was appreciative and we got paid!

Went on at nine and had two short breaks finishing at midnight.

We actually ran out of songs so we jammed a couple we had been working on in rehearsal and the crowd cheered like mad.

My hand is now swollen and painful but it lasted the gig and the drive home

That's a bit worrying! Fretting hand or plucking hand? Is it ok now?

Plucking hand lol
I am used to it now.
There is nothing that can be done it is a choice between giving up or living with it.
