    Mate, it was a long time ago but if I still fitted in that shirt I 100% would!! 

    Might have to make a new one in “L”!

    Playing? Great
    Sound? Great
    Being in the moment and giving it some? Absolutely spot on.

    Exactly what live music is all about.
    LOVE it.

    @RocknRollDave Cheers - I really appreciate the kind words. It's exactly what I told everyone from day 1 - we should aim for note perfect, but that isn't what takes a band over the edge. It's all about the flow of the set and the vibe and attitude of the entire unit. If you give it 100% and the rest is 90%+ then the crowd will come with you and everything will be amazing :) 

    We definitely weren't perfect - I dropped a beat on the intro of the last song cos I couldn't hear the bass drum :s - but no-one gave a shit by that point :D

    Videos are here for anyone still reading! 

    Yes we know Urmika's mic was mixed too low. Yes I fluffed the bloody riff in the Killers song cos I couldn't hear the drums. I don't care :P 

    First up is the Motown section:

    Haha - I can see how it might read that way but I'm not joking. As Chilli says, you look like you had a ball - all the band - and the setlist and energy is superb. 

    I haven't played in anger with people in about 30 years. Watching those vids makes me really miss it. 

    Anyway, no sarcasm. The WOWs are genuine!!

    I highly recommend it. I had similar conversations with other bands over the night - noone could be believe I'd stopped for this long.

    Yup. Cheers! I am really stupidly proud of myself for getting it done and these 6 muppets for sticking with me. Massive props also go to Gemma (in orange) as it was her idea and she's a frickin superstar of a band leader - I couldn't have done it without her.

    Good gig! Incredible windy and no alcohol(?) for attendees so the crowd was maybe a little more subdued than they would've  otherwise been but we played great and went down very well. 

    A handful of minor fuckups (mostly not from me!) but nothing as major as the point mid-set where literally all the power went off. No sound, no lights, no nothing. Thankfully the AV guys got it sorted within about 2 minutes and we were back & running.
