Sunday afternoon June 29th saw us for the second year running playing our hometown Ashington Fayre Day. Unlike last year though the weather was trying its best to dampen our spirits with some annoying showers that kept putting a spanner in the works for the Live stage on Station Road. After a slight time delay due to the rain we hit the stage around 2.30pm as a busy crowd had gathered at the front of the stage. Nice.
After watching Glastonbury highlights the previous evening including a cracking set by Metallica we were ready for our very own alternative Festival. Hello Glashingtonbury!!!
We blasted through a 40 minute set much to the joy of our friends, family and fans, and to the bemusement of passers by. The sound can often be a tricky customer onstage for outdoor gigs, but judging by the great reception we got during and after the gig, we definitely pulled it off.
The wind picked up a few times during our set and blew the rain from the canopy onto our Guitar amps a few times soaking them in the process. But fortunately no onstage electrocutions this time!
All in all a great gig again for us and a big thanks to everyone who came down to make a noise with us.
Also thanks to Mike Slaughter for making this happen for us.
Cheers
Peesh
