Armrug (Friday October 7, 2005 12:37)
We turned up at 6, unloaded the full car and waited. And waited. 5 bands in as many hours, thats a tough call.

Hedparty had rather ambitious plans to put on 5 bands and inevitably the night overran. By an hour.

We got onstage, tired and a bit irritable, and a string of undesirable events led to an... unforgetable gig. Knackered jack leads, a crappy drumkit and the bass amp actually falling off the stage (!!!) were not part of the plan. The audience surely realised this and were hopefully sympathetic of our situation. A bad balance onstage led to us not being able to hear each other (but then again, when CAN you hear each other??) but we battled through.

On the plus side... I remembered all of the lyrics to Its All Over Your Face. Surely a miracle - thats the first time I have got them all right!
