Gig day...
Treated sky...
Back room view...
Re-did my "Glam! Medleys" using the mastered WAV files rather than MP3s...
Post work on that, this diary and listening to stuff, out for breakfast with Annie...
Doiwn the hill to Cafe Vigo but no tables so, to the Toby Carvery - Anne's expectations were not high but she came away impressed...
No lunch required...
A visit to the Hospice shop before walking back up the hill, resulted in these...
A nice, mainly operatic, selection...
And this for a fiver - I was worried (well, not worried but, you know) that I might have it already...
Track list - 200 songs...
But, this is the one I already had...
Track list, 200 different songs...
An afternoon of prep then, around 3:45, loaded the car - a place for everything...
...and everything in its place...
The hall pre set up...
Johnny W arrived...
...followed closely by Johnny B...
...and Keith - and we were soon almost ready to soundcheck...
Lights on...
The bingo caller arrived...
Post sound check the stage was set...
...and people started to arrive...
Drinks are extremely cheap here, an attraction...
I sat next to a nice old lady who could not hear the numbers - and so I marked her card for her and, she ended up winning £47!
Result...
Time to get on stage, just after 8 for the first set...
A few unforced errors but no-one seemed to notice...
We'd moved all out "crowd pleasers" to the first set but it seems people were not yet drunk enough to take to the floor...
And so, three opportunities for the gathered crowd to participate in "The Slosh" were foregone...
The scene at the first break...
...and I managed to snap the dancers, including the Exec Producer, during the final set...
...which ended with an encore around 11:30...
Take down after another successful stint at the Dockers and home around 00:35, leaving this to be sorted tomorrow...
A top day...
