03-Oct-2009 The Smugglers Den

It was good to be back again at the Smugglers, this time with friends from Blackpool, Penny Black (Pete Skinner and John Bond).

As there's not a great deal of room at the Smugglers, rather than set up our own Bose L1 (Model 2) system, we decided to save space by taking a line out from our Bose ToneMatch mixers to Penny Black's Bose Classic (Model 1). Unfortunately we had a few problems with the sound quality for our guitars and vocals but nevertheless it was an enjoyable evening. There was music all night with us kicking off first, alternating half hour slots with Penny Black finishing off the evening at around 20 minutes past midnight!

By the time we packed the gear into the car (again!) it was late but we drove home and hit the sack around 04:00 am. We had to be up early for an afternoon gig the next day!
