Any advice?

[Dutch_guy]

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.

Good luck!

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

How'd it go?

How'd it go?

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

That's great Ian! Congratulations. I'd really like to hear the story about how you go from Freebird to If You're Happy and You Know It.

BTW, ignore the jerks. You could be the greatest band on Earth and there will always be a few of 'em. They aren't worth the time of day.

Oh, also, did any of your family or friends get pictures? If so, post 'em!
