Gig report, my first as a bassist...

[retromal]

We played for the first time with our new band "Deep Fried Bananas" in a rather small venue
"The Cove Inn" on Portland in Dorset on Saturday 11th, and it was my first gig as a bassist..

We got there nice and early, we were booked to play from 2100 - 2300, so at 1800 we started
to get the gear in and up as much as we could around the tables full of eaters... but of course
couldn't really put up the PA.. anyway to cut a long story a bit short, after consultation with
d management, we started at 2130... the band were a bit concerned with not having enough
material for the gig.... our first set finished at 2300..... at we cut out a couple and no there was
no massive gaps between songs.... we managed a small break for a pee and full up then went
on till just before midnight....
the place was full and stayed that way till we finished and just in time for last orders...
we even got one of the punters give us a tenner for drinks...

yep we have now got another couple of gigs there, one in another venue and a couple of
interested punters for private gigs...

enjoyed it too....

good to be back gigging again..
