Notes: It would be unprofessional of me to say why this was such a big gig for us, but in short there was some people at last night's gig that, from an industry point of view, needed to see us on good form. It was a great gig - a great evening in fact. The Corn Exchange in Hertford is a fantastic venue - sizable, but with cabaret-style seating it didn't take much to fill it and I could only spot a couple spare seats in the venue when we were playing. Really decent quality sound on stage, I know we were only acoustic but to hear everything so clearly just made life so easy, and Trevor and I are well rehearsed with these songs. In between the duo stuff, Trevor tried out a couple songs completely solo, which were well received, and on the whole we were as tight as we've ever been, playing in front of an audience who appreciated everything we did. We were the middle act, the other two - Mr Paul and Alex Holmes, were both immensely enjoyable, and it was great to catch up the legendary Richard Boland and really good to see Helen (Flaming June's manager/the kind lady who has been helping me out with the press for the forthcoming tour) there too. And the people that needed to be impressed, were suitably impressed. All in all, a top night. Then got very lost going home, as expected.
