Millenium 2000BC rock night ! and boy did it rock !

I have just got in from our first venture out for a few months, bike halloween(ish) rock night!

We have full sound and light engineers all night - and a support band who were superb.

Support ( Final hour - new band - well worth going to see if your into your metal like me!) went on at 9.00pm for an hour, then we had 45 mins to empty the stage and fit all our gear on and get a rolling sound check while the DJ was on, the sound guys where - well - sound ! (Amadeus accoustics - marks team where very well organised) we were set up and rigged by 10.35, we went on at 11.00 and did a non stop 2 hour and 10 min set !!!!!!

Im knackered now - great night to remember - even if we dont have a singer !

Guys - we had a great night. Went better than we hoped for a first gig. Sorry you guys didn't get a sound check up front.
If anyone's interested we have a bit of a site up at the moment at www.final-hour.com - Metal!!

no worries about the soundcheck mark did a cracking job of the rolling setup, your set was superb, look forward to seeing/working with you guys again !!

p.s you need to let me know where Lee got his 'sleeves from' ; )

Hi Mark,

LOL about the site, it's the cheesiest I've ever done :) and goes against everything I normally do in my job (flash is the product of the devil :-))

Thanks for letting us support you, it was a total blast...

cheers

Gary

PS I'm amazed Lee could get his balls in his pants... wearing fake tattoos to a biker do :))

Big thanks and respect to Steve Gee of Kingfist for stepping in at the last minute on guitar duties for us on 16/12/09 at Last Orders.. The guy literally had only a few short hours to learn an 85 minute set.. a cool guy and an awesome guitarist.. Ian - Final Hour
