Alford Gig VIII

So, there we were in the dining room area at the Alford Hotel. A pretty cool show proceeded to happen. We had them up and dancing midway through the first, quieter, set.

We bring along our own gear, including coloured lights (!), so we usually have things humming nicely in a technical sense as regards sound production on stage. The real master of this is Terry. He also owns the PA system we use, the electric heart of the band. He controls it all from his mixing desks and racked up gear, usually set up at rear of stage.
So, at Alford, there we were in the dining alcove, having done a sound check hours before to an almost empty pub, about to play a song we’d only just decided upon. And this was knowing that there were a couple people in the crowd who were representing other pubs and clubs in nearby towns, a truly tupperware kind of moment. And it worked.
