first gig for the blues band tonight :) An annual Jazz and Blues festival just down the road from us, not really nervous but a little aprehensive as there will be many muso's in the audience.... bugger! I'm nicely loosened up with a bottle and a half of wine in me, but I should be a little more sober in 2 hours time :eek:

The main problem will be reining in the band, the songs sometimes go to 20 mins by the time me, the other guitarist and keyboard player have done our solo bits :lol: The usual thing is to give a nod, but normally I'm nodding along with the beat anyway so it gets a bit confusing, I suggested jumping up and down on one leg but that idea was pooh-poohed :(

Hope the gig goes well mate, have a great time, sounds like being a hoot.

BTW any photos from the gig, especially of the hopping on one leg would be cool :-)

Good luck mate, I never drink before a gig as I find my accuracy goes down if I do, but hey Hendix used to be out of his head and do it so what do I know

hope yours went well visco :)

Cracking gig indeed! The festival is held on the main street and you're assigned a 'plot'. You do a 30 minute set then have 30 minutes break while the band opposite does their stuff, then you do 30 minutes, they do 30 minutes etc.... the annoying thing is it seems to be all blues bands start on the hour, all jazz bands on the half hour - so I never got to see a couple of the bands I really wanted to see! They were playing when we were.... we did well for a last minute, standby band. Hopefully next year we'll be on the bill :D

Just email them to death and they'll give ya a spot just to make the email stop we did that once to get a premier gig. You sometimes have to get inventive or annoying..LOL
