Telebass Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 And it went down an absolute storm! The venue were plainly not expecting the numbers that turned up (neither were we!); around 80 tickets sold in advance, which surely should have given them a clue... Chaos reigned in the bar, where one bar person was valiantly trying to serve nearly 200 people. The lighting guy was serving at one point! Anyhoo, here's a shot from the night. The venue's lighting guy and soundman were outstanding. On a bass-related note, the soundman eventually dropped my rig right out of the FOH system (a 16kW Court Acoustics Ramjet system, powered by the ubiquitous Crowns) - it was doing fine on its own, and due to having enough space to really breathe, was at a lower setting than I've ever used before. Not bad for a 400 bod venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The Wharf is a cracking venue-seen some boody good gigs there. Would be happy just to play there, let alone pack it out! Nice one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 God, I'd be bricking it on such a big open stage with only the three of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Really enjoyed it! The spacious stage allowed us plenty of room to rock out. The 51 is, and will likely remain, my go-to bass. It's even becoming something of a personal trademark around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 We sufficiently impressed the management that we have the offer of two regular dates a year, which is as much of a residency as anyone gets at the Wharf! Well chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 :blush: Wow, don't know what to say! Glad you enjoyed it, and sorry you weren't feeling so good. It was a much better-attended gig than we thought. We thought, given the proximity to Christmas, distance to pay-day and foul weather, that we'd be lucky to get 40-50 people in. And we got 117! Less than our previous gigs but good for the day. We enjoyed it, and it's always great to know that it went down well! Thanks Jon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
