Band: the British IBM
Venue: The Dublin Castle, London
Date: 31/01/13
Audience: Pretty busy, lots of Japanese tourists
Set: Make It Happen, Pain In My Heart, Down Like That, Animal, Sugar Water, 3 Years, Guns, The British IBM, Washing Machine
Notes: Legendary venue - pretty much the main reason why we chose to play at The Dublin Castle was because Madness were regulars there, and we all love Madness...everyone does! Great to be on that famous stage, and logistically a pretty easy evening - right next to Camden tube, as far as London gigs go this is one of the easier ones. Felt like a tricky gig to be honest - we were the third act on but the first acoustic act, the obvious dip in volume of our trio stuff directly following a loud rock band didn't work in our favour. I tried using bongos instead of congas for ease of transportation and they didn't cut it at all (they sounded great in the flat the other day, but in a proper venue they just got lost in the mix/sounded like I was playing cardboard boxes), it was nice to see Magnus in the audience - who was in the promo video for our second single, and a few people dancing, but London gigs are tough sometimes, aren't they?
