Gig report: Eureka Stockade @ Evolution Dome, St. Ives

Band: Eureka Stockade
Venue: Evolution Dome @ St. Ives Rugby Club, St. Ives, Cambs
Date: 09/04/11
Audience: Plenty of them entering as we started playing
Set: She Got Good, Erotomania, Violence, Without You, Heroes Fall, I've Been There Before, Caught In A Fire, Through Every Darkness, All Alone
Notes: Make no mistake about it - this was a big event, a proper black-tie charity ball with food, bands, and an extremely worthy cause. The venue - a massive white dome, always excites me - such a brilliant concept and perfect for such parties. We were the first on so whilst we didn't have the biggest audience of the night at first by the end of our 45 minute set we felt extremely welcome. Played well I think - and debuted two new songs (I've Been There Before and Caught In A Fire) both of which worked nicely and could become set highlights I think. All in all a good night, good music and very good food too, we were well looked after. Big credit to the mighty Jon Orchard and Ash for organising such a mighty show.
