Marine Hall - Fleetwood - May 31, 2008

Last show - for how long? Good crowd but not a good sound on stage - reminiscent of Ventura. Overall though the Tour has been great - what next?

Pacific Arts Centre - Birkenhead - May 30, 2008

Very empty sound on stage - hard to get sounds to gel - lovely crowd though - very enthusiastic. Not sure about RT100 through 4 x 12 - not in that room anyway.

Mean Fiddler - London - May 23, 2008

LCB - Wuppertal - 5/4/08

Great crowd tonight - we played very well. Used one Marshall head through two 2x12 cabs - could be the way to go for smaller venues.
