Band: Flaming June
Venue: The Cornerhouse, Cambridge
Date: 17/10/12
Audience: Busy enough, enthusiastic
Set: Rejoice, Stop The Ride, Rumplestiltskin, Those Were The Days, Nerves Of Steel, Little Love In A Cruel World, Pyscho, Wednesdays & Weekends
Notes: What looked like it was going to be a fairly run of the mill local Wednesday night gig turned into a real goodun. We were headlining - something I'm never keen on because not only do the audience tend to drift, but you have to spend the best part of 5 hours in the venue in between soundchecking first and going on last. But this really worked - it was our first gig with Alyssa on violin and she slotted in straight away, and as a whole the evening worked a treat - the two continental opening acts followed by the brilliant Jacqui & Geoff (probably my favourite Cambridge band at the moment) kept the crowd happy and we actually kept the crowd ourselves and played quite well I think. Good to see regular gig-going friends (Jack, Ken) there, as well as non-regular gig-going friends Hind and Nadine who really seemed up for a party night - I stayed and had a drink with them afterwards making for quite a late evening, but a really nice one all the same.
