Casey Jones Gig 06/09/2022

Got there well in time, found parking spot easily. Max (gig contact) was still on his way to do set-up. Was shown to a table by a member of the staff, and got a courtesy drink from the bar. The staff, by the way, are very friendly.

It didn’t take long for Max to set up the PA once he got there, and the sound check went over easily. My needs are very simple, just acoustic guitar and vocals; a warm, slightly extra bass on guitar, and just the right amount of reverb on the voice - and away we go!

Once again, I did a set full of original songs and they went over really well - I was a bit surprised at the immediate response, but I can live with it :-). I mixed up the styles and keys and rhythms to stop us all from getting sleepy from the same thing over and over, and to keep the applause alive.

I’ll be doing a different set of original songs when I play there on Tuesday 13 September from 6.30pm. Keep well.
