Bands: Aidy, Trevor Jones Band
Venue: The Cornerhouse, Cambridge
Date: 03/06/11
Audience: Minimal, enthusiastic
Set: Aidy - not sure (opened with 'Make It Happen' ended with 'Washing Machine', with about 4 songs in the middle), Trevor Jones Band - All I Am, Badman, Shine A Light, I Don't Wanna Talk About It, Alive, Roll On The Rain, She Was Me, Old Fashioned Woman, Falling
Notes: This gig was initially booked by Trevor as another chance for the recently formed band to get some gig experience, ahead of next Friday's filmed gig (for promotional purposes) and next Saturday's London gig (which is also being filmed by some Canadian TV company or something). Short on an act, Aidy stepped in at reasonably short notice, complete with Dave the bassist and myself on drums. It was a modest affair, none of us really advertised it, it was incredibly warm outside so why anyone would want to come in to a heaving pub is beyond me no matter how good the beer, food and music is, but we had a few in tonight. A nice easy show that, as a trio it's probably the best we've played Aidy's songs - sometimes we're a little too ramshackle for our own good, but tonight I felt we were really in good shape and when they work like this it's a reminder that they are really great tunes - witty lyrics, punchy, unpredictable, he won a few new fans tonight like he always does, and rightly so. That was followed very quickly by Trevor Jones Band - I'm pretty sure it was the same set as last week's London gig but we keep on finding more intricacies within the music and it just gets better every time, we're really starting to sound like a proper band, it's a big sound, it was very well received and rightly so. A nice gig, that was, I've got two more this weekend (tomorrow with Eureka Stockade, Sunday with Flaming June), if they're as good as that one I'll be happy enough.
