Gig report: Trevor Jones Band @ The Ferryboat, Holywell (gig for The Institute Of Videography)

Band: Trevor Jones Band
Venue: The Ferryboat, Holywell
Date: 06/09/11
Audience: A handful of mature students
Set: First set: Badman, Shine A Light, I Don't Wanna Talk About It, Alive, Roll On The Rain, Old Fashioned Woman. Second set: Solid Ground, She Was Me, Can't Take This Anymore, Falling, All I Am
Notes: Peter and his brilliant team at Harrier Digital have done a fantastic job with the Trevor Jones Band live DVD, which was filmed a few months ago at the (now sadly gone) Haymakers. To return the favour, we were the band tonight for his class as the Institute Of Videography were shown how to record and film a live act. It was a slightly surreal evening, but we were made to feel very welcome, and the acoustics at The Ferryboat are pretty good too. After a slightly slow start (me, mostly) we were firing nicely tonight and it was all very pleasant. Although there was only a handful of people in the room we went down incredibly well, and in between our two short sets (and the chats with the tutors) Trevor even sold out of CD's so we must have been doing something right. Lovely gig, then the A14 was closed and I got a bit lost going home, which angered me greatly.
