Notes: Headline gig at the world famous Troubadour for Trevor Jones Band, we'd been looking forward to this one a while. Easy journey up, the stage was the perfect size for us and the soundchecks were excellent and lengthy. Good food kindly provided by the venue (pasta, chicken, salad and red wine) and a nice vibe throughout. We had three support acts, two of which were absolutely outstanding, and by the time our set arrived we had a nice big audience crammed in to the relatively small space too. Although, let's be honest, a majority of the crowd weren't there for us, we managed to grab their attention and our well rehearsed set was warmly received. In fact, we were even on the verge of an encore, only for the host to jump on stage and play his own songs on his acoustic guitar. For the sake of professionalism, I can't say much more than that, but rest assured he quickly cleared the place and we came away with a bad feeling about the whole thing which was a shame because there was a lot of positives to take from the evening.
