Big gig this and under stressful circumstances. Forge that the promoter was charging £6 in and that the elevated stage was creating some kind of freaky bass vortex that was killing us but Little Dave the singer had no voice. None at all. He had been ill as you may know and this was the 3rd gig in 8 days that Big Dave was going to have to be the front man whilst Little Dave backed him up on the complicated guitar and vocal bits.
We pulled it off, got around 60 -70 people in there, they all enjoyed it as they did "PIG" our all Vinyl 60's DJ we hired for the evening.
Steve the promoter (they are always called Steve) was very happy and glad we didn't do what every other band would do and pull the gig.
We never cancel gigs, if someone can't make it we improvise and I think venues and promoters respect us for that.
Also notable was the fact that the dressing room was behind the backline, how cool does that look!
Late night and the last time I say Nick Audio (tm) - Dunno where he has got to....
