My First Gig in London

So, the gig went well. It was a nice, intimate room with tables, sofas and lounge chairs, and we had a decent number of people come out to see us, about 30 I'd guess. Except for a few minor slips, I feel it was a good performance. Our Greek pianist has a large, extended family living in London, and about a dozen of them came. They were all very vocal and supportive.

A decent singer-songwriter had the warm up slot, then a solid but VERY loud hard rock band played and drove many people outside due to their volume and intensity - it wasn't the right venue for them. We had to go on after them around 11pm and try to bring everyone back inside, which we did. The lighting made it very difficult to get good photos of any of the bands - this one is the best taken, and unfortunately David is in the dark. Still, you can get a flavor of the evening. I've never played a gig on a stool, but my strap was not very secure on this bass, so it was best to sit.
