Band: Eureka Stockade (well, Rob and I)
Venue: Huntingdon Community Radio FM, Huntingdon
Date: 18/11/11
Audience: No idea considering it was a radio slot, but definitely four other people in the building and Andy from the band listened in online at least
Set: All Alone, Resistance + interview
Notes: Not even sure if this qualifies as a 'gig' as such, more of a promotional appearance, but either way it was nice enough. With our new single 'All Alone' released this week we were invited over to HCRFM to play a song or two and promote it. Andy (Brown) has a heavy cold so sat this one out, so Rob and I popped in and played this as a duo. This is, without question, one of the most supportive and friendliest radio stations you could ever meet - I've been there a few times to chat about projects and my newspaper column, and it's just so nice. See - when you're promoting something as a band you instantly feel (naturally) grateful for any coverage, but with HCRFM the station themselves are so pleased you're there as a guest, the team running it seem really passionately into the music you're playing and it all leads to a very enjoyable session. Alongside playing the single and one other track (very stripped down - Rob on his acoustic, me playing my little Sonor sub-snare with my hands) we chatted briefly about the album, summer festivals, that kind of thing. A lovely way to spend an hour on a Friday night and also nice to briefly catch up with my old mate Gav, who was there to talk about films. Home by about half 9, a chance to finally chill out after a pretty intense week of theatrics.
