So we did our first open air gig of the year a couple of weeks ago, undercover in a huge tent. Jedburgh was the venue, at the annual rugby Sevens event. This was the first time we’ve played at a Sevens tournament, and I have to say it was great fun. The venue was at the same place as the Riverside Rock festival, one of our old stamping grounds.
Time was tight, with the stage to be built, a sizable PA to be set up, and two bands to soundcheck in two hours. However, it all came together, and it was great to play in front of a sold out one thousand strong crowd.
Our pals Scocha were the headline band, and we always enjoy playing with them. We’ve got a few more open air gigs in the pipeline this summer, including the brilliant Lindisfarne Festival (31st August – 3rd Sept.) If you live in the Borders or the North East then you really need to get to this festival, I can’t recommend it enough. More on this one nearer the time.
There’s a very strong rumour that we are about to do some recording soon, and dare we say it – maybe even a video – who knows? No smoke without fire!
