Band: Fred's House
Venue: The Old Lion, Harborough Magna
Date: 20/09/13
Audience: Seated, but lively
Set: Lots of songs, lots and lots
Notes: This is one of those gigs where we had absolutely no idea what to expect - a venue miles away in what looked like the middle of nowhere, a booking from somebody who had seen the band (before I joined) at a festival...but this was absolutely wonderful. It was effectively a restaurant gig, a very different kind of show for us - great setting, the restaurant itself was packed, we were tucked in the corner playing two long sets of original tunes and the odd cover. The result was a sophisticated, controlled Fred's House performance - but not at all restrained. Lots of life, the band on really top form aided by a wonderful and enthusiastic audience who, despite eating, were vocal in their enjoyment of what we do. On a personal level, replacing my floor tom with a conga and alternating between drums and percussion (often in the same song) worked a treat and suited the FH sound more than ever. Perfect gig.
