Things are starting to look up in the Verbal Warning world after a
rather bumpy start to the year, another good gig at the Sitwell Tavern
on Friday was followed by a possible slot at the rock and blues festival
after last year's highlight was cancelled by the police, who would be
rather be out issuing fixed penalty notices than doing the job our
considerable council tax bills pay for.
Anyway, back to the Sitwell, I think it's probably the loudest we've
managed to be with our own PA, we have to be if we don't want to be
outdone by Mick Moonshine's disco. Things didn't seem to be going that
well, no mosh pit and not that much applause between songs, but I think
they were saving themselves for the encore, I got so carried away I
decided to start playing the Warhead bass intro when everybody else
thought we'd finished, after several seconds of wide eyed WTF looks from Guitar and Drummer boy and a scramble to get instruments back in place we did quiet a reasonable job of it considering the shambles it was at the last practice. Our experimenting with recording gigs continued and we got the balance better on this one so, hopefully, Drummer Boy will
put a few tracks on our my space site.
Lee of Weston put a phone video of us doing Ace of Spades at the last
Sitwell gig on you tube, which obviously has quality limitations but
captures the atmosphere quiet well.
