Re: Fiddlers Friday Mosh

[Paul Vallis <paulvallis@ho...com>]

Yes - it was a good night.  The sounds wasn't as good a balance as in 
previous years, which may have added to the "hard" sound that Nick 
mentioned.

Dave Chapman was on good form, and Ruth Cochrane appeared during about 3 
songs to play theremin.  Our boy Chris filled in well on bass.  Where was 
Joe Allen though?  He was playing in Rita's backing band (with John 
Langley and Gerard Starkey) at the Junction a couple of months back.

Police (38 Divinity) was a bit of a highlight for me, nicely atonal.  I 
can't understand why they insist on persisting with Treeful of Starlings.  
Ok, it may be that the park it was written about is just over the back, 
but its a weak song at the best of times and doesn't come over well live 
either.  Nice to hear Raise the Roof, but the backing vocals were too low 
in the mix (not as bad as on the album though!) - if it had been later in 
the set it might have sounded better.

Wasn't Pony Boy the last song in the main set and Yr Own World the first 
encore?  Or was my Bristol Beer Factory endorsed confusion worse than your 
Stella haze?  Abi nabbed the set list, so hopefully we'll find out.

I thought Rita's song absolutely rocked.  Gerard Starkey got a song in 
too.  Get Rodney back and Gerard L will be able to take half the night off.

That was a good, traditional, Aeros 
Xmas bash. No Angelo, no Rodney, and there didn't seem to be as many 
people 
there as usual, but those who were there did have a good time! It was 
quite a "hard" gig, not much subtlety but 
mucho noise and power! Lots of old stuff and some new, nothing from Life 
Model 
or Rough Music though. Or Beatsongs. Probably because no Angelo. But 
Wojtek was 
there, looking fit as usual!
 
There was NO Death Zone / Moshpit, and 
only abouy 3 or 4 people danced - me, PV1, Alan, Ann Sheldon and 
NW1.
 
It was Lover & Confidante that set 
me off - I can't resist that riff!
 
Set list, as far as I can remember 
throuth the Stella haze:
 
Raise The Roof High
Tree Full of Starlings
25 Kinds of Love
Bury Your Love Like 
Treasure
A New Song
Lover and Confidante
Jacket Hangs
Police (38 Divinity)
Action Painting
Warhol's 15
 
Probably loads more
 
Encore 1: Pony Boy
 
Encore 2: Owls/Who Built This Station 
in the Midwest/Journal of an Airman medley. Only kidding! 'Twas Breaking 
in my 
Heart, as 'twill ever be.
 
NW2

  If I recall previous xmas gigs correctly, then I'm sure a certain NW 
(and a 
  large vat of beer) can be relied upon to start the "dancing". 
& 
  probably to finish it too... 

I shall be to sad to have missed 
  (geographical reasons) any ensuing 
  mayhem,

Phill...........
