Re: Gig on Friday

[JULIAN NOBLE <jules.noble@bt...com>]

Quality is never automatic but a result of painful mistakes, and great 
diligence in particular in listening to complaints or being alert to 
errors.
I was about to write serious leter of complaint to the Fleece but as you 
were recomending a gig in a venue that wasnt yet quite perfect I thought I 
would address it to the fans who in my opinion might have more influence 
etc etc.

A good sound engineer would help or perhaps a longer soundcheck after the 
room filled or didnt fill.  Perhaps the next gig will be fine. I can hear 
Rita in The Plough or the Junction which have fine sound but it would be 
embarrassing to me if I couldnt hear my favorite bands in their own venue, 
and upsetting if my freinds and lovers refused to accompany me because 
noise level is actually painful.

I hope attendees enjoy the next gig.

Nice one Jules! A public slagging no-less...
We're trying really hard to get the Fleece back on it's feet. A good crowd 
on Friday is crucial. I take on board all your points and we will do our 
best to address them. I would have preferred it if you had voiced your 
concerns to me privately via the email address advertised on our website. 
Comments like "I wouldn't bother" addressed to a few hundred Blue 
Aeroplanes fans who would normally be quite interested in a gig like this 
are
 hardly going to help us.
Hope to see you on Friday
Cheers
Chris

If the sound levels were at the painfull level of last weeks gig I wouldnt 
bother.   Ritas wonderful songs were entirely muffled by excess bass from 
Johns kit which is hardly what they strived for.
 The bands before and after were so loud as to be painful and almost 
certainly in contravention of Health & Safety legislation.  I listened to 
the first band from outside the toilets and the final band from outside in 
the street. I dont know if the sound engineer made a slip in both level 
and microphone set up, but it needs addressing or even training.    I went 
to several perfectly good gigs recently (Prom Bar, Blue Lagoon even Seven 
Stars) where you could hear every word and not risk significant further 
deafness and still feel the pulse of the music.   Jules Long time Who fan, 
who likes it loud but clear

 Hi everyone

Just a little nudge to maybe get some of you down to The Fleece on  
Friday?

The Mekons + Gerard Starkie + Rita Lynch + The Smokestack Shakers.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=137018899653343&index=1

All the Aeroplanes will
 be there. John Langley is drumming for both  
Rita and Gerard Starkie. Starkie's band also includes former Aeros  
bassist Joe Allen and current guitarist Loki Lillistone. John also  
used to drum for The Mekons so it's all a bit incestuous really!

In other news we are planning a massive Fleece launch night with The  
Blue Aeroplanes headlining, VIP bar, local celebs, loads of press,  
even a new single on vinyl! Full details to follow in the next few  
days...

Cheers

Chris
