Gig report: Fred's House @ The Old Queen's Head, Islington, London

Band: Fred's House
Venue: The Old Queen's Head, London
Date: 03/11/13
Audience: Very busy
Set: Take A Ride, Standing Next To Me, Hold On, Beautiful You, Marathon Man, Looking Glass
Notes: I never really enjoy London gigs, but this was a rare exception. Having dashed over straight from the Dowsing band/choir rehearsal, we drove to Islington to play at the very busy Old Queen's Head - a lively bar, even on a Sunday night. The venue itself is upstairs and was so busy we couldn't get to comfortably see the acts on the bill before us because of lack of space so we ended up waiting in the bar area below. Our set was a fast one, with the exception of Hold On, and felt like a rock n roll gig at times. I doubt we'll play, 'Standing Next To Me' that fast again, nearly killed us and Vikki nearly threw up. Audience responded warmly to what we do, absolutely cracking gig in front of lovely people.
