The Waterfront…

Monday, October 20th, 2008 | Updates

Over half a year ago when I was working on material behind closed doors I had my eyes and ears open for a potential venue to try out my new live set. It had to be far enough away that word wouldn’t get back to people involved in my local scene, not too big and be relaxed enough to let me experiment a little bit. The Waterfront was that venue. I got a feel for what was working and what wasn’t and it gave me enough perspective to see where and in what direction I needed to build. More importantly I got a good reception from the people running the place and the people attending, they gave me an open invitation to play any of their music nights. And so I played as many as I could fit in, at one particular night I was introduced to man who became my agent (John Mostyn) and also acquired a producer willing to work on a studio album. So many positive things have come from playing there that I feel like it’s my stomping ground in a way. So when they asked me to play their end of season party I felt like I owed them a good show. So I got stuck in letting people know about the gig as the party was open to all comers, the way I saw it Kieron (the owner) had done so much to encourage what I’ve been doing I wanted to try my best to get as many people in his venue, spending money at his bar.¬†I did it. I invited so many people and a lot of them came and considering it was my first show in nearly two months with new equipment to test it went really well. We drank and we danced like idiots to many a guilty pleasure fueled by Kierons amazing concoxions well into the a.m. I got to bed at about 5 a.m and got to work on time at 11. Work was fun. I had so many friends come in saying they’d had such a good night, flashbacks occurred,¬†stories were told, people laughed out loud, everyone tired but enthused by the time we had in the little bar by the lake. Thanks Kieron…..
