Band: The Trip 35's
Venue: The back room of The Boot Inn, Histon
Date: 12/10/10
Audience: Sparse, far too polite
Set: A Good Storm, Free Parking, 4.59pm, Jim's Routine, The Simplest Of Things, Missing Each Other, Teddy Sheringham
Notes: Our first ever gig as 'The Trip 35's', and by 'we' I mean Rich Conway (vocals, guitar), Chris Lilley (fiddle, vocals) and me (congas, spoken word stuff). Having recorded the album in the summer we've been besieged by various problems, such as family illnesses and all of us being far too busy, so went into this gig with merely one rehearsal. It showed. We were certainly more than a bit rough around the edges, and the spoken word stuff I do on two tracks only confirms that some things are best left as audio projects as those bits didn't work at all. Saying that, the songs are nice, and little glimmers of real energy (such as when Chris went into a fiddle tangent at the end of 'Teddy Sheringham' and raised the tempo considerably) suggests that with 3 or 4 rehearsals we could be a really good live act. On Tuesday, sadly, we weren't, but the audience were still lovely. All 7 of them.
