Bands: Trevor Jones, Fred's House
Venue: The Ferryboat, Holywell
Date: 16/11/13
Audience: Warm, appreciative
Sets: Not sure
Notes: Alongside my friends Peter and Trevor (and venue manager Kat), I organised this little charity show for Saturday evening in aid of Magpas. Magpas are really good you know - they save lives, yet are unfunded, so my suggestion to put on a few bands to help raise them a few quid was warmly received. This was a nice evening, a really nice one actually - The Ferryboat is a perfect setting for chilled, more relaxed live music (indeed, there are sofas, everyone felt very comfortable), my close friends Alighting opened the show with their first gig in years (but what an enjoyable set it was), before the wonderful Danielle Page (with Ian on guitar) performed a soulful set with a remarkable amount of vocal clarity. I was then on stage drumming for Trevor, electric set with Tony on bass, perhaps slightly unrehearsed but we jammed earlier in the day to refresh and Trev's songs are so strong that even the odd shaky ending didn't harm what was a very enjoyable set. Moving into the main bar, Fred's House headlined this one - a joy to be in this band, you know, so much material to chose from, so tight, even if at times were slightly on auto-pilot (surely that's what happens to any band though when you play as much as we do) and Lachy was feeling rough we did well - won over a lot of new people, a successful end to a very worthy evening.
