Band: The British IBM
Venue: Proud Camden, London
Date: 10/06/12

Notes: Whilst the timing of this gig wasn't ideal for me personally (having had a manic weekend of gig and rehearsal stuff), this wasn't a bad one at all to play. Have to be honest - we weren't overly keen at first, playing a late slot on a Sunday evening in a city where we're not really known didn't really fill us with optimism, but on arrival we were made to feel very welcome and there was a decent-sized crowd there. Aidy got the train in slightly earlier than Dave and myself, and we only found the venue after somebody gave us a flyer for the show and that person pointed us in the right direction. Proud Camden is a great venue - really vibrant with nice big stage, and the promoter is Allan's Promotions - who are based around here so they knew what they were getting with us. Decent set, well rehearsed, we're all just so comfortable being in a band together - we know these songs inside out (the new material fits in perfectly, it took a few gigs to get them up to scratch but they work a treat now), it's always a pleasure. A tiring pleasure though, got in at 2.30am and up at 7am this morning, but that was a nice enough gig in front of a friendly, if chilled, audience.
