an update
My review of Coldflame a couple of weeks ago caused abit of an uproar, because I (justifiably) said that the sound could have been better, if there had been someone running the mixing desk.
I was NOT having a go at the band.
I was NOT having a go at Luis who is tasked with sorting the band out AND serving beer.
I was Not having a go at TOMT or their equipment.
Just to clarify:
The Old market Tavern is a brilliant venue, with a very good in-house PA system.
To bands playing there - try to get a mate or someone with a little musical know how to run the desk for you - it's all really well set up and self explanatory, but you can't run it yourselves because it is at the back of where the crowd stand (as it should be).
I did the sound last night for Phoenix, and even though I am not the most technically minded guy, we got a good mix with a bit of tweaking and advice from the listening punters.
Had a brilliant night aswell!
