Gig - Hull Uni - The Futureheads

Today I embarked on my first 'proper' gig of the year. The Futureheads came to Hull Uni. We set up and waited for the band. And waited. And waited. And waited some more. Eventually the band arrived, but... the crew were stuck on a train in Leeds. Nice.

Eventually the band set up their own equipment, but were a little unsure after having crew do the task for them for the last few years. Anyway the crew arrived and an experienced engineer did a speedy sound check.

Then the support act. What a farce. Poor engineer, poor band!

Then local support...

The gig started and I endured the first two acts... But The Futureheads came to the stage and were amazing. Tight performance, brilliant engineer and good banter with the crowd.

A sharpish load out and we were home after a very indifferent day with all the waiting etc...
