Gig report: Trevor Jones @ Black Bull Festival, Godmanchester

Band: Trevor Jones
Venue: The Black Bull Festival, Godmanchester
Date: 15/09/12
Audience: Drunk, brilliant
Set: Not sure of the order - usual set with the omission of Solid Ground
Notes: This was a really brilliant gig - and even more so because on arrival they looked like the kind of audience who wouldn't like us. The festival, held at our regular venue of The Black Bull, had been on since 1pm, so by the time we went on - 8.20pm, a majority of the audience were hammered. Although there were plenty of acoustic acts on the bill, a lot of the bands on our stage - the electric stage, were of a heavier rock vibe, and somehow I just felt our acoustic-led pop would unsettle the audience. I was proved wrong though as they got into it from the start, and as a trio (Trev, Tony and myself) we really got into it, more so than we have done in ages, can't work out why - sometimes an audience like that just helps things. The sound on and off stage was great, the kit was lovely to play and I really hit my stride, it was just a really fantastic little gig to play and Allan's Promotions deserve credit for running it so well. We've been in the studio for the last couple of nights recording and haven't quite hit that level of performance again I feel, but the sessions continue again soon and I've got a sneaky, and slightly arrogant, feeling that we will.
