[ Here we go again!] Logistics for gigs has to be carefully planned (this is a local band remember) and roadying is done by some of the more dedicated band members. Try and get roadies for a soul band! The load in, set-up and sound checks usually take 4-6 hours after which the half knackered crew search out local hosteleries for the obligatory steak pie and chips before the gig. But, "forget sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll, just give us a nice cuppa tea!"........pictured below some members of the band and road crew settling into a break during a hard Saturday afternoon setup regime.
Finally, below here's where Ian (Sound) and Billy (Lights) hang-out....................the mixing console and lighting desk are usually situated nearest the bar........:-)
