what an ace mini festival. I had som much fun ping ponging between the two rooms. Unfrotunately the gig was ruined a little by the very people it was meant for i.e a small group of freshers. But not enough to ruin the whole night. All credit to Kirk who organised a great show. Tunnels should utilise both rooms like that more often.

The request we got for a Deacon Blue cover was awesome!

But you never played the Deacon Blue cover. That guy pissed me off. I hate ironic students.

But yes, big credit to Kirk for having the balls to organise what he did. It flowed nicely.

The Kitchen Cynics blew me away. So so so so so good. Loving the Jazzmaster and the tremolo.

Katerwaul were superb. One of my favourite locals bands without a doubt. I miss playing in a band. The Hijacks were also very enjoyable. Very tight and toe-tappingly good.

Nice.

The 2 rooms in synch is definitely a VG idea. I enjoyed the Debutant set muchos, but headed off for the last bus before I turned into a pumpkin.

Thanks to everyone who played and attended this. It is a shame there wasnt a bigger crowd and a lot of people didnt seem to get that they could move between the rooms when one band finished but for us, it was still a very enjoyable evening and hopefully this kind of thing of using both rooms at the same time can become a more regular thing.

Thanks also to Scott, Jenny and Rob for doing a great job with the sound.

Thanks very much....I enjoyed it a lot....I'm always more relaxed at the Tunnels (although I DID forget to use my mini-synth...it usually acts as a decent crowd-irritant!)
