U.S. Mail Live at Fort San Antone - Video Evidence!

Posted By : U.S.Mail | Comments : 7

If any of you pubs and clubs out there are interested in booking a little old country rock band...!

Must admit I approached this video editing lark with much precaution! However, using Windows Live Movie Maker , and after watching a couple of 'how to..' vids on Youtube it proved quite straightforward!

Fort San Antone is a dedicated country music venue in Warton ( somewhere between Preston and Lytham) , and this video is a collection of clips from our debut appearance there last month.

hi US Mail, great clip,I also used the windows thing to make our humble offerings too.

Ive seen a few bands at the San Antone,including BR549s,Swing commanders,Were you just using your own gear to play there or their's ?,Its a big place if youve only got small backline...T

Hi Terry, I'm pretty sure we used our own gear , though in effect we only played to half the room as the top half wasn't being used. Will check out your vids!
Oh and Alec - believe it or not - it is deemed perfectly acceptable to rely on lyric sheets on the country circuit , though I do agree it doesn't look good and I don't think he really needs them to be honest!
