Easter Sunday - Cumberland Gig

On Easter Sunday, March 2005, we played at the Cumberland Hotel in the afternoon. The day was quite okay as gigs go, pretty well attended with an audience that stayed basically until we were done. There were quite a few young bucks that were initially sceptical as they rocked up, but nearly all of them were at least singing along with us, if not dancing, by the final sets.

Competent, but not brilliant, is how I’d measure our performance. Though, once again, I’d say that the audience who had not seen how good we can be were not too upset at what they saw. I guess our performance is more dynamic than that of a lot of bands, and this is always a bonus in live gigs.

This was the last show we played at this venue with its wooden floors. I have heard that where the bands play now has a concrete floor. This should be good, as we have always had a bit of a challenge to keep the bottom end vibration under control with the floor set up.
