My GR Bass AT212? My Antoniotsai bass? BRX's 6-string shortie? BRX's singer?

I've just got home from my first U2 Tribe gig

It was at The Horn in St Albans

What a lovely venue, superb sound man. Had a nice IEM mix too

 

The crowd was amazing, singing along from the start. Our singer knows how to work the audience

 

I was nervous as it was my first gig with them, we've not managed a rehearsal either. I did really well, yes some mistakes, lost my way occasionally but sterling work from The Edge got me back to where I needed to be but mainly I nailed most of it

 

Looking forward to the next one in Derby

SATURDAY!
She's Right - I'm Left at MOTOR Bar & Restaurant 5:30-8:30pm! 
Bourbon and BBQ specials! We’ll provide the tunes!

 

This Harley gigs are starting to concern me. The crowds have been weak the last two times we've played there. 6 out of 30 diner tables were filled.

Good acoustic gig. Good crowd. There was a huge bike expo event in town.

 

Good interaction with the crowd.  I was home with my comped entree by 10.

Friday night Otis Jay Blues Band show at the Meeting House, Ringwood. Well-named, we had three ‘ringers’ as vocalist and drummer walked before Christmas.

 

An art exhibition means the band photos are the weirdest ever… have attached a couple! Pulled 37 paying punters on a horrible night plus Sid, who walked in and ordered a bottle of red to go with the half bottle of vodka in his pocket. Our audience is nothing but select.
 

Never before used (on stage) rig of Barefaced Two10, GK MB200 and Sandberg VM4 on Precision pickup. No-one noticed the difference…

That has to be one of the weirdest back-drops i've ever seen at a gig

‘Wrong’ side of the river for us last night - a gig in Barton upon Humber with the blues trio.

 

Venue was an old pub, occasion being a 70th birthday for a guy who has seen us a few times.

Set up in the main bar area, audience comprised birthday party guests and some locals too. 
We played 2x50 minute sets, to polite applause from the guests, who you could feel were

thinking ‘why did you book a blues band?’ but didn’t want to offend the birthday boy. 
We had a couple of dancers, one of whom walked over to grab my mic - gave her my best

look of disapproval and she retreated. Wasn’t sure if she was a party guest so didn’t want 

to upset things but nobody touches my stuff, ever!

(Used my Sire U5 shortie into the usual Fender Rumble 500 combo.)

Finished around 11.15pm, got paid and a quick pack away meant I was home by midnight.

Not the most enjoyable gig, but not the worst either. No pics I’m afraid, must try harder. 😊

Our first gig of the year last night at the Coach House in Paignton. A good crowd for us who got into it as the night went on. Towards the end of the first set our guitarist was out front soloing and told me after the song that I was not loud enough out front, so I duly boosted my PA level. Chatted to a couple of appreciative people along the way. My calouses felt like they got a work out as it been a couple of months since I've played live. Got a couple more gigs over the next month, but only 11 booked for this year so far. Using my usual Stingray 2eq, RM500 & BF210. I was also wearing my Sketchers.

Strangely, had a dream about this gig last night, though it was a good 46 years ago! Wasn't as exciting a dream as the gig, all that happened was I couldn't get my make-up off at the end of the night...

At the actual gig we had actual stage divers dressed like Monty Python women!

First gig for my first originals band, been a year in the making after losing a couple of drummer on the way. Turned up expecting to play 45 minutes but were asked if we could do an hour as the other support couldn't play due to sickness. Bolstered the set with four covers, Psycho Killer, The Specials Concrete Jungle, Another Brick in the Wall part 2 and Tracks of my Tears. I'd describe us as a shouty punkish garageband so we caught a few out with Tracks but I loved it when Big Country used to do it live so we gave it a go.

A good crowd and very responsive. I used Barefaced One10 stack with Markbass LM3 playing a Squier pj contemporary I bought from here last year. Everything sounded great from where I was and we had plenty of favourable comments after. Landlord wants us back even after we explained don't have a following.....which was nice.
