The REOFFENDERS made their first visit to the Double Locks yesterday. The gig was originally planned to be inside but as the weather was so good, we played outside in the marquee. Which was cool because we had more space to move around and we didn't have to worry quite so much about the volume.
The problem that can happen with outdoor gigs is that people spread out more and can be further away from the band than normal. We could hear the cheering and clapping, but it was faint - I guess the wind wasn't blowing towards us.
However a stag party moved from the decking next to the river and plonked themselves right in front of us. No fear of hearing their reaction! They were enjoying the show, singing and dancing till we played Debaser and then the world exploded! It was an amazing reaction to a song which isn't normally that well known.
It was a great welcome to the Spring and more sunny evenings with outdoor music. Roll on August when we're back at the Locks.
