Gig - Katherine Jenkins - Womersley Park

We rigged yesterday and it rained. Well it didn't just rain, it hoofed it down. We were soaking. The day therefore went really slowly results in the wet getting wetter!

The most annoying thing about this was my steelies were wet. And as I like my toes I wasn't too keen on doing tonight's get out without them. What dries shoes I wondered...What?

I'll Tell you what... 1KW Par Cans!
















I'll leave the light and the shoes to its own devices for now and ill check back in the interval.

Anyway, the reason I am here. Monitors for Katherine Jenkins and The Royal Marines Band, Scotland!

As I am doing monitors you only get to see the back of her head. Google for the front! Also: If you look at the picture enlarged you can see some right comical faces in the audience. Look for the old lady who it not amused at her husband enjoying Katherine a little too much...
















The load of the truck on the out was so bad that if you stood around for more than two seconds in disgust at the pack you ended you ended up being packed yourself.
















I was actually attaching a ratchet strap to make it secure in some fashion...In my warm and dry steelies!

On the way home we had to pull in for a brief time because tiredness made it unsafe to drive. A five minute stop soon became 30 minutes as we were all out for the count.

The truck got tipped, and another show roughly got prepped. We then went to leave the unit to find I had a puncture. After my boss doing a quick tire change for me we all eventually got home...after being up for just shy of 24 hours. Knackered!
