Yeh its at Pulsom Park...I'm on a 1:15pm, so if you wanna take a look then you're very welcome to...i'd like to have somebody on these boards with an opinion on how i was

Gregoshi, that's really good advice thanks alot...Some of the songs i'm doing do require a 'give it your all' attitude...in fact, i think all of them do. So i'll be thinking of you're advice when i go on stage =D

Insane Apache, yeh i'm steering clear of all alcoholic substances...no matter how hard that may be

...as for stomach chruning, well its already going full speed now just thinking about it

once again thanks alot guy..this is why i love the org

As the others stated before, do your part.Concentrate in your business, and dont let others interrupt your concentration.

Imagine that you are with your band alone. Forget the public!

Can't really add to the great advice already given, chill out with your friends before the actual gig and give it your best.

Really, if you've all practiced and you feel you can do it - then you can, just enjoy the experience.

Sorry Ian, it's now quarter to 2; I missed you. I didn't have time to stop.

Not to shabby actually..

a few hiccups...mainly;
1)the PA system we used was rubbish, and didnt have a mixer, so we had to play by guessing what was loudest
2)due to the pa system (and a bit of nervousness on my part) my voice sounded flat at times...especially playing The calling "wherever you will go"..where i really had to strain to get my words out
3)our lead guitarist needs to focus more on doing the free bird solo...and not prancing about stage...

oh and 4)remove all annoying, arrogant, posh

s out of the audience

but other than that i think we did well, we've got a month to practise for our next gig, and to save up for better equipment so all should be well. Our reviews were really good (apart from said arrogant people) and it seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves..i even engaged the audience in a rousing chorus of "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" (long story)

thanks so much for your advice guy i really appreciate it
