lou24d53 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Played Friday night in Box in Glasgow, wasn't feeling it before to be honest, but ended up being one of the best gigs we've done in ages. Vintage Trouble were playing the O2 ABC along the road and a few guys were in after the gig, came up to us after we finished to tell us they enjoyed us as much as the gig they'd just left, was very chuffed at that. 😃 They were even sober as well!! 👍😄 Edited April 5, 2015 by lou24d53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was supposed to be playing tonight but a bout of sickness & diarrhoea has put paid to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Our two gigs went well, though I was a bit out of it on tonight's due to the painkillers I'm on. Enjoyed listening to the band without being fully aware that I was part of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassistclem Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 All weekend for me. Saturday a wedding with one party band, Sunday a birthday party with another then Monday depping with legendary queen tribute Magic at Bristol Hipadrome. When will I get chance to eat my eggs?

BigGuyAtTheBack Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Charity gig in a wee village hall on Saturday night. Place was rammed and up for a party. I was suffering from a heavy cold, the stage was boiling hot due to the old fashioned spot lighting and I was dehydrated. How I got through it I don't know, the last 2 songs I thought I was gonna faint. Still we entertained and wee Joe our drummer reckoned that was the tightest him and I have been in a long time, go figure! maybe he was being nice LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1428305135' post='2739972'] had I seen this before easter I could have offered The Arches venue in Coventry on good Friday followed by the Marrs bar in Worcester on Saturday but I've only just seen it [/quote] Bloody wish you had mate! I have to say that we were taken by surprise by just how little was going on near Birmingham over the BH weekend. From what we could see, Coventry had a reasonable amount of activity, maybe some in Rugby, but that was about it. Obviously this may reflect our search pattern, but we're pretty good at this stuff and I don't think we missed some sort of treasure trove. The highlight was finding a local band playing at the Brasenose Arms in Cropredy, letting the SatNav route us over the country parks and moorlands to get there, talking to the band while they were setting up, and discovering that they were based in Acton (erm ... where my studio is) while their rhythm section came from Brighton. OK, scratch "local" then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 We've payed the Brasenose a few times, enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience, but it's a small pub and the load in is rather tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Yeh, noticed the load-in. You should have seen the drummer's traps case. A large open wooden box (no lid) which must have weighed 20lbs on its own! Manoeuvring that through the strange double-doorway thing must have been a nightmare.
