Tour Day 12 – Portsmouth – Wedgewood Rooms
Portsmouth
Live loop failure! Such is the nature of what we do, I had a bit of a disaster during our opening tune tonight! We had to stop playing half way through and start the tune again… It was the right thing to do, there’s nothing like listening to an out of time, badly looped guitar, especially when the tune is supposed to be in 15/8 time. Still, I think we recovered! You seemed to be in to it by the end!
To add to our dilemma, our bass amp blew up whilst we were sound checking at Koko! Apologies to the crowd for the lack of bone shattering sub. Thanks to everyone who was feeling it nonetheless!
Anyway, here’s a pic of B Dolan and one of Dan and Pip. All three rocked it tonight.
Tour rolls on – Birmingham tomorrow!
