Fringe By The Sea Saturday 14th August 2021.
Lighthouse Stage, North Berwick.
This was special, we had been invited to play at Fringe By The Sea 2020 after Gig 51, but alas CoVid intervened. However, the invitation still stood, so we played in the Harbour Lighthouse Tent, 400 watchers. Windy but sunny day, a great memory. Two slots with an interval:
Setlist pt. 1 Pictures Of Biggles, Tamagotchi Girl, Cool, Eleanor, Exit Plan, Freiburg (CH) ‘98, The g Factor, It’s Abnormal, Mouse In Love.
Setlist pt.2 Death Makes You Feel Like A Man, Watching Waters Rise, Waterboy Blues, (We Were) Always On Our Own, Standing In For Love, No-one Wants You Watching, Red Star, The Science Of Survival, Selling The Party. Encore: A Physical Husband.
Soundman: Andy. Weirdly blustery sound on stage, but OK in front apparently. Wobbly PA needed sorting during Pt.2 but didn’t cause any delay.
Tense before soundcheck, had left music stand struts in boot of the car which was parked 10 minutes away up the hill.
Very well received, no-one left after Pt.1. Many CDs gone. Families impressed. Rehearsals paid off, stamina improved.
