Gig Review: Sat 25th November - The Boileroom, Guildford

Subsource and limiters (devices that reduce the amount of noise coming through a PA in order to stay within council-imposed volume limits) do not make good partners and we were worried about not being quite as loud as we'd like to the audience.. but was all fine thanks to Matty B jumping on the desk and working his magic mojo. On-stage was a different story.. it was eardrum-poppingly loud (I had a monitor speaker next to my head), and I was having visions of me having to lip-read my mum telling me off for not wearing earplugs.

A brilliant capacity crowd braved the miserable weather to come and see us, made plenty of friends and the least said about what happened after the show the better. But Nelly gets the crown for vomiting 6 times the following day.



Oh, forget what I said last time we were here about the place feeling a bit too clean - it's definitely getting grimier. (Definitely not somewhere you'd want to lick the floor of). The lights are now dimmer, the smell of new wood is disappearing and any place that has tea-making facilities backstage gets an automatic 10 out of 10 in my book.
