Gig report: Trevor Jones Band @ The Missing Sock, Stow Cum-Quy

Band: Trevor Jones Band (full band acoustic)
Venue: The Missing Sock, Stow-Cum-Quy
Date: 25/11/11
Audience: Jolly
Set: Not sure - full TJB set, plus four songs (one of them a cover) I'd never played before
Notes: Back at The Missing Sock and as always felt very welcome. Seemed a lot busier than normal, and those who were watching were pretty responsive considering they were waiting to have dinner. Played well - the acoustic version of 'Alive' was remarkably tight and always a pleasure to perform, the new material (or very old, as Trevor wrote them a while back) was naturally a little hesitant rhythmically but nobody would have noticed. We didn't have a setlist, so accidentally played 'Badman' twice (at the beginning and end of the set) but it's a good tune all the same, and we realised later we forgot to play 'All I Am', which is usually one of the staple songs in the set. The Missing Sock staff were lovely to us and so grateful that we performed, they gave us each a fancy beer glass as a thank you and once again cooked us lovely food - this time it was ostrich for dinner as well as drinks. Great stuff, a decent evening with good company.
