Did a gig last week opening up for Salford Music Festival.
We didn't hold much hope for the gig...Thursday evening at a venue called Wangies in a tough part of the Manchester suburbs (Patricroft).
But what an absolutely hidden gem. It was busy....very for a Thursday night, given that we expected ZERO people there.
And we absolutely rocked it. We've already been asked back to play a fully paid gig, and sold an absolute pile of our CDs on the night. The member of the organisation team for the festival who was present absolutely loved us (asked us to play other sets later throughout the festival....but we couldn't due to shift patterns sadly).
And I was told by a member of the public that I was 'metronomic'. Always blows me away such praise as I don't consider myself to be anything better than 'industrial' (ie. hard working, hard hitting, plodder)
Just what was needed...I was losing my vuvvavoom for the band of late (too few gigs....too many frustrations) and was thinking of calling it a day at the end of the year. Changed my mind now.
Anyone else had any great gigs of late ?
