The absence of soundchecks really isn't a problem. Flash told us to get our sound on stage, an he'd reproduce it out front, and that took no time at all. Most bands who are gigging should know their levels anyway surely?

Not meant as a plug, but if you listen to the live recording we have from the Moorings, the balance is great, and we didn't soundcheck. The guys at The Moorings just really know what they're doing. To be honest, I can't see how anyone could have a bad sound solely due to the PA etc there.

If it ain't a turd, then they will polish it.

i'll direct the complaining bastards to this thread in the hope they see sense...

(aye, right)

Decided to start a new thread for all the nameless, faceless, whinging bastards (and trolls) out there. Have moved some of the posts from the TITP thread into here to get it kicked off. Nothing like a bit of badly informed ill considered destructive criticism to keep things interesting.

Oh - and please feel free to contribute any *shudder* positive experiences.

After playing last night, I'd have to say the Moorings has one of the finest on-stage sounds I've ever had the pleasure of making. Anywhere that makes Jimmy and my "harmonies" sound that good gets a big phat thumbs up from Jonny Lucifer.

My first gig experience at the 'new' moorings, both as an audience member and onstage player, was very enjoyable indeed. It sounded fab!

Shame about the weirdo with the cigar though.

Maybe they should know better and you should tell them to fuck off? (ouch,harsh)

Element have played many gigs at the Moorings and not once have we had a problem with the sound. Everything comes through the monitors clearly. Its a good venue, the end...
