So..... Following on from the previous blog entry, We were asked to support Joel Owen and The Antoine Band at the Musician, Leicester on the 24th March 2011.
The usual journey was made to the musician from Derby on the train to Leicester and then a short 10 minute walk stopping off to purchase a fishcake and chips for tea :)
I arrived at the Musician at about 7.00pm and sound checked on my own breifly before Sean arrived and we checked without Nick agai because of him working. After the sound check the evening began, there was a fair sized crowd at this even all eager to see Joel Owen as his reputation in the local area is quite high.
We took to the stage just before Joel and the band at about 9.30 and played a 30 minute set of the usual material, without any big hitches! The gig went well and we made some friends with Joel Owen and his band, it's worth talking about his band.
Joel has been hotly tipped around Leicester for a long time and is a great singer songwriter, recently he has been playing with a full band that includes drums, bass, electric guitar, keyboards, a trumpet and trombone! These musicians are hand picked from some of Leicester's best bands and the band is a great band worth checking out at this link.
Another successful gig for us and another great night! So far we've had a really busy 2011 and it keeps on coming, another blog soon about 'Nowt Flash' at the Donkey and we're playing again as part of The St Georges celebrations in Leicester on the 23rd April, So more blogs about that also!!
