Notes: Eureka Stockade have always been one of my favourite bands to drum for (I don't tend to hang around in projects for too long but I've been with these guys for years now) and it's nice to be back in action with them after a slow 2012 of gigging - we've got some good gigs coming up and the momentum seems to be building. This was the first of the summer shows, and there was a nice vibe about this gig. Possibly because of the football - we were on shortly after the England game (luckily they won so spirits were high), but also because the set feels really fresh - three news songs in there, and in 'This Vow' we have a real gem on our hands I think. Nice gig, good crowd - which was amazing considering the footie, and once again an absolute joy to be on stage with Claudia who was joining us on bass. Performance-wise; lots of life, a little shaky at first but by the time we got to 'Caught In A Fire' we were proper flying, the audience seemed to be really, really into it.
