Gig 47





              

 

 

 

First gig this year after a long stretch writing. Six of the new songs played in a row, a slightly maculate performance it has to be said but possibly had a more experimental feel as a consequence.

 

Setlist: Pictures of Biggles, Folder Dressed in Blue, St Rita, Jump, Medley: Poland/ Harmonica, Standing In For Love, The Science of Survival, Red Star, The g Factor, It’s Abnormal.

 

Sound – Alistair – new to us, consumate professional.

 

Reception – Everyone seemed to like everything, Medley: Poland/ Harmonica especially picked out as polished by the most critical audience member.

LED lightbulbs can strobe, annoying once you notice; this is captured by holding a mobile phone up close.
