Jabez Clegg - 14/3/08

UNDER THE RADAR EVENT

Manchester on a busy Friday night.

There are three bands on - The Rivingtones, who are pretty good - then ourselves - and headlining were a cover band The Shameless. Well, okay they did two original songs.

The bar in the room we were gigging wasn't open.Then the bar (downstairs) closed at half nine. Everyone had to leave by ten. The place was re-opening at 11pm for the Inspiral Carpets aftershow party!

The sets each band did had to be short and sweet, to conform with the curfew, so it was a fast run through Cradle To The Grave, Laughter, Trapped Under The Smog of the Industrial Blanket, Greater Than Thee, and finale Mannequin.

Many thanks to the door staff, and the Sound Engineer from Glasswerk, who did an excellent job. And thanks again to our travelling fans (who decended on Madchester en-masse after ten for a night out).

Hopefully we'll be invited back.
