Just thought I'd find out how all your gigs went....
Mine was a colourful night. I took my entire PA rig down (Mixer / Speakers / Lights / Smoke Machine, etc) to a club in East London. The guys who run the place have only just bought it and are pretty clueless about running a big venue (but they paid well, so fuck it).
At about 9pm I set everything up and started playing. The lights looked kinda lame without the smoke, so I said shall I blast the fogger (Smoke Machine). Management said yeah despite me asking them about any smoke alarms. They said it would be fine.
Long story short.... The alarm started screaming and they didn't know how to turn it off. The fire brigade had to come out and deactivate the alarm. This took 20 minutes and cleared THE ENTIRE building out.
From 9:30, I started with zero people and gradually built it up again. What a fucking disaster......
Strangely, they invited me back to play next week.
Made me laugh. Won't forget that NYE in a hurry .
