It was a very good gig, band were a bit nervous but well who can blame them, btw i would like to point out that this was a very ahem personal gig in the sense there was no stage, the lead guitarist was sat at teh end of the table we were on Ryan (the singer) was about 1 arms length away from the missus,
A few mistakes more noticable beacuse the respective band member who had made said mistake pulled a funny face.
Sound lvls where a bit scetchy really but that couldnt really be helped (drumkit was un mic'd and pa struggled to conver vocals over it sometimes).
The 1st set was more of a rocky set even though there wasnt a single note of distortion used , the order of the songs flowed quite well with only a few tweaks needed i think for future gigs, however they did in this set make there ahem school boy error which i will come to in a moment
2nd set was a more laid back set with slower more country/blues style songs
pacing on the songs was once again v good, and at the one part of the gig i noticed some ppl sagging (one number the name escapes me went on a little long it seemed) they through in a well written upbeat funny blues number which made everyone in the room smile, nice finishing song with a cover of sweet child of mine using the mandolin for the lead
Then it was time for the encore and once again i look back at the school boy error, the did a cover in the 1st set that for everyone who saw that gig will always raise a smile ... and may unfortunatly haunt this band for ... well at least every gig i go to (as i will request it every time).
The verse was slow and bluesy done with jsut the right amount of tounge inserted firmly in cheek, the chorus was done in fasat punk style (rememeber there accoustic) they covered the song in a way i have never heard before... what song ppl may ask well Mr H can tell you sometime (or prehaps post the vid)
Overall great gig well done Mr Hendo i will stalk you band as religilous as a full time job wife and baby will allow
