Band: Trevor Jones Band
Venue: The Emperor, Cambridge
Date: 22/10/11
Audience: Half-full, responsive
Set: Alive, Roll On The Rain, I Don't Wanna Talk About It, Old Fashioned Woman, Can't Take This Anymore, Falling
Notes: A late afternoon slot at an all day event for Oxfam, was nice to be asked and nice to be involved for such a good cause. We played this as a trio (Trev, Bill and myself) so without bass I took to percussion instead of drums as we all know full kit sounds rubbish without a rhythmic partner. Was only a short set, but it was all slightly rushed - I had dashed over from the other side of town where I had been watching the legendary Charlie Higson (Fast Show etc) give a fascinating talk about writing kids horror fiction as part of the brilliant 'Festival Of Ideas' - it's things like this that make Cambridge such a nice place to live in. Trevor himself was also understandably stressed, what with his wife Maddy due to give birth at any moment, so it was very much a case of run in, do the set, cheeky half pint to calm down and go again. It was good though, not too much of a crowd but you get that with a Saturday afternoon gig, but we essentially cut out the ballads and went straight for the uptempo stuff (apart from the cover) and came away happy enough.
