Gig report: The British IBM @ Rock Your Mind Festival, Middlesbrough

Band: The British IBM
Venue: Rock Your Minds Festival @ Westgarth Social Centre, Middlesbrough
Date: 07/10/12
Audience: Plenty of them, enthusiastic
Set: Cannibal, 3 Years, Animal, Sugar Water, The British IBM, Down Like That, Guns, Washing Machine
Notes: Back up north, and back on form - I'm sure this isn't a coincidence. We always like playing in Middlesbrough and this festival - organised by our manager Matt, was a charity event in aid of Rock Your Mind (a mental health awareness charity). Two indoor spaces, big old building, lovely vibe throughout the whole thing - going on at 5.30pm was perfect for us (event started at 1pm), we switched the set around a bit and seemed fresh because of it. Lovely audience, we always feel welcome at that end of the country, 9 hour round trip for a 30 minute gig but completely worth it.
