us: "I don't know what that sounded like out there - it sure didn't sound like joy division up here"
us:" who wants to hear something cheerful...? well you came to the wrong fookin' gig then !!"
highlights: the pleasant train journey down and chatting to people after the gig.
notes: vexed by the return of the 4 minute soundcheck and by the need to trim 2 songs from the set as well, perhaps we didn't approach the gig in the best spirit. the onstage sound didn't help - piling mistake upon mistake.
curiously, the set was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm by the 400 pompey punters and it was near bewildering to be told that it was one of our finer performances. [?]
this evening featured our youngest ever audience member - who, no doubt, left the gig scarred by the image of will in shorts.
