Back At Work

We reconvened for our first gig for a while on Monday, a corporate gig for a German wire making company in Stuttgart. These events are always a bit of a lottery and our two sets here ran the gamut of what you can expect from them.

The first was to a half interested audience still digesting their dinner and more intent on talking to each other than listening to us. The second was party time, with everyone ready to listen and dance, and a younger audience - the oldies having departed for an early night!

Our day was typical for our German shows. Up at 5am to get to Stansted, an early flight, a tired soundcheck, and then to bed for a few hours before the show. Understandably none of us felt like sleeping after the show, and we hung around having a few beers as the crowds dispersed. We did get some good rehearsing done. Everybody is energised at the prospect of Edinburgh so for once I'm not having too much trouble forcing my fellow band mates to join in. Indeed, I'm at James' house now preparing for another rehearsal to start. What hard working boys we are.
