Notes: Our first electric gig in a long time...this year perhaps? We've done a lot of acoustic stuff over the year. This was our first Cambridge gig in 12 months, we had previously decided to give playing our home town a bit of a rest and explore the rest of the country but this was a nice offer supporting touring band, Fiction, who have been the subject of some big acclaim recently. It feels good to be drumming these songs again, I like playing congas but still feel more at home behind a drum kit, and this was the first time we've gigged without playing none of the 'old' original Aidy set that we had when this band first formed - all album tracks with the addition of new number, Bob Noyce. Played well, perhaps a little sluggish at first but we soon hit our stride, went down very well, a pretty decent Monday evening all round.
