Gig - Beverley Minster

Last time I was in a minster it was one of the hardest gigs of my life. This time was no different but for different reasons.

The rig was a distributed system of 4 lines of speakers down the main body and 2 down the side. Rigging this was hard work to say the least. Gun ho all afternoon. But it all worked first time to I was happy. I even did a dance!

One thing was for sure. It sounded a million times better than a few months previous in York Minster. Success!

This was the minster with our speakers down the side...





















At the end of the night we cabled up the miles of cabling, and went on to Hull Uni to pack away another show that Happy Mondays had been playing.

Two get outs later and some cheesy chips consumed arrival back at the unit was the name of the game. Iain and I tipped the truck from each show on our own to ease the following week.

Then I had an idea. Something to boost morale in the early hours on future shows...

Some Graffiti on the truck...

Tip the row of arcs on the subs and you get the word congrats...

Tip the Subs and you get the words "U Made It!" and a big smiley face...
















Something to look forward to at the end of a long hard day! Get in!
