Gig at the Pig [eng/deu]

Hello Hivers!
Anke here aka Anna-NewKey.

Hier geht's zur Deutschen Version

It's been too long that I've posted here, so I thought I'd stop by with a few pics from our gig last night, which was an absolute blast.

We've played at the Pig'n'Falcon in May on a Sunday when they have acoustic acts on. Only a week after where we called upon for an emergency fill due to a cancellation.
The reception we're getting is always amazing, which surprised me, as the pub is more of a heavy band type place on Friday and Saturday nights with all kinds of rough and ready people.

We don't do the AC/DC-type songs, you'd find ABBA, Queen, REM and other more subtle tunes, although, who knows what we might try in the future.. 🤷

On Friday a call went out on Facebook by the pub that they were in need of a band the same night and a friend alerted me. I contacted the manager that we'd be up for it but as he was after a band I didn't get my hopes up.

The list of interested people was long, yet, he called me straight away, and we had the most amazing night with an absolutely lovely audience!

We played for 3.5 hours and I had a camera running the whole time, it still needs sighting, but here are few shots and a couple of videos I took when Steve was the main part.

German Version

Es ist schon viel zu lange her, dass ich hier etwas gepostet habe, also dachte ich, ich schaue mal mit ein paar Fotos von unserem Auftritt gestern Abend vorbei, der echt der Hammer war.

Wir haben im Mai an einem Sonntag im Pig'n'Falcon gespielt, sonntags spielen dort Akustik-Acts. Nur eine Woche später wurden wir gefragt ob wir einen Notfall-Einsatz machen können wegen einer Absage.
Der Empfang ist immer fantastisch, was mich überrascht hat, da der Pub freitags- und samstagabends eher ein Treffpunkt für harte Bands ist, mit allen möglichen ruppigen Leuten.

Wir spielen keine AC/DC-Songs, sondern ABBA, Queen, REM und andere dezentere Songs. Aber wer weiß, was wir in Zukunft noch ausprobieren werden. 🤷

Am Freitag wurde auf Facebook vom Pub gepostet, dass sie für denselben Abend eine Band brauchten, und ein Freund machte mich darauf aufmerksam. Ich kontaktierte den Wirt, aber da er eine Band suchte, machte ich mir keine allzu großen Hoffnungen.

Die Liste der Interessenten war lang, aber er rief mich sofort an, und wir hatten einen unglaublich tollen Abend mit einem absolut tollen Publikum!

Wie spielten für 3.5 Stunden und ich hatte die ganze Zeit eine Kamera laufen, sie muss noch gesichtet werden, aber hier sind ein paar Aufnahmen und ein paar Videos, die ich gemacht habe, als Steve die Hauptrolle hatte.

Thank you! To be honest I thought it would be tough with not having had enough time to warm up and then singing for that long but we lasted pretty well through the night and I was even singing driving home.. 😂

I suppose you get used to it.. it's just a muscle that needs practicing 😄

Of to Hitchin now for Brickfest.
Have a lovely weekend and might see you Wednesday.

I struggle with long gigs with my hand issues, but I could be at Balstock this year. I need to get in shape for that.
