We couldn't make up our minds whether the crowd weren't keen, or whether it was because it was a small crowd spread out in a large area that sort of made it difficult, but feedback at the end of the night confirms that most enjoyed us.......
This was our first outside gig and unlike last week, we were not cooking under Andy's lights. Harley and Jock struggled to strum and Beanz voice took a downward turn towards the end of some of the songs....It was cold to say the least. Andy, we assume was the only one who managed to keep warm, but then he does have a habit of jumping around on his drum kit like a madman........true kneeslider stylee! Give him a shiny helmet and some drumsticks and he's off like a ??????
Simon and Dan did a fantastic job setting us up and the set-up looked proper professional. Well done guys, you did us proud! At one point, we thought the tiny village of West Meon was wiped out by the amperage Simon was draining from the grid to power all those lights and speakers! Turns out it was Leon's genny playing silly buggers!
Another "cheers mate" goes out to our old friend Donk - Utilising your muscle in getting the gear transported from the van to set was a godsend!
We were looking forward to this gig and it was venturing into the unknown. Being only our third public gig since we started and still learning. This was also an opportunity for Mr and Mrs Loomies to measure the reactions and see if a full licence to host live music on a regular basis was feasable. Speaking to them at the end of the night it was apparant that they loved it, as did their customers and they will be making enquiries to obtain the necessaries to get it going. They have asked us back too which can't be bad!
It was great to see Kerry, Dil, Crazy L and Jax doing their bit up the front yet again true groupies style! We knew we could count on you guys to show 'em how it's done and another special mention to our littlest fan P.J. You rock little fella and you can come up and shake hands and ask for "again, again" as many times as you like. That's how we roll baby!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who turned up to show their support and especially Leon & Jane once again for giving us the chance to play, and for all their efforts behind the scenes to make it happen.
In short, we set out to establish whether or not live music would be appreciated by the regulars at the cafe, and for Leon & Jane to establish whether or not it was a worthwhile project to venture into. It came good on both counts so the evening was a success in our book, regardless of how we played!
Roll on the summer - there is fun to be had doing this lark!
