Babykarma-They were good but like what everyone else said, didn't think Emma's voice was fitting for the songs.

Mind Gone Blind-Just seemed like a pub band to me, their cover of boys of summer(or whatever it is called) was good but own material was quite bland.

X-Certs-"add additional generic fan comment" seriously though, good set but quite dissapointed they hadn't learn any 80's covers.

Onion Terror- Wasn't their best gig and was hard to know when to cheer or applaud them but the covers were good. Got that bloody Duran Duran song in my head now grr...

Stayover- Nice set, guitar sound was a bit dodgy but Bring on The Sluts being played=happy crowd.

Black Atom-Great set "breaking law" done sweetly metal style and Empty Sky being played for first time in donkeys made my night

Great night overall. How much more did Moshulu make than the Music Hall £1000 or something?

[milner]

considering the music hall lost £2500 even £1 would of beat them

but we made just over £600 if i remember right

According to the Press today:

The Music Hall raised £10,000 and had 600 people.

Hmmm.... someone is elling porkies!

My parents went to the music hall and said it was complete kack. Apprently the Billy Shears Band didn't even show up...

WTF? Hahaha. No.


Needless to say last night was a kabillion times better. There was an usually nice atmosphere the whole evening, and glad to see so many people had their dancing shoes on.

Baby Karma - nae too bad. Their debut gig? There's potential. But not my scene. I thought Emma was trying a bit too hard with her singing. Nice dancing though

Mind Gone Blind - Boys Of Summer was probably my favourite cover of the evening, nice choice. Good for the gig but not entirely sure I'll be rushing out to see them again.

The X-certs - Like, omg, the 3 of them there brining the rock. Not too bad for one practice. I Hate the Way You Dance and The Darker Ages were highlights. And the sing-a-long, always makes me go all fuzzy inside... no?

Stayover - all the fan girls at the front are great for constantly showing up with so much support. Credit goes to them. Nice set. Dan starting off Girls Just Wanna Have fun, that was amusing. And Bring on the Sluts, it's been a while! Good stuff.

Onion Terror - pretty much their sloppiest set but clearly still entertaining. I wouldn't be judging them on that performance if you hadn't seen them before / in a long time (unless you enjoyed it, yes please do judge). Going in to Rock Me Amadeus.. thought I was gonna pee my pants.

Black Atom - fantastic opening sequence. Nice to see some accessories and stuff! Empty Sky, that's like the only Atom song I know, so that was nice to hear. But I went for the bus not long after that.

So yes, good job. Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Nice to see everyone enjoyed themselves.
I unfortunately can't comment on any of the bands as I was having dinner with my parents and the in-laws. however I had an ace time, and the long hair gagged me...

nice to hear 600 big ones were raised as well.

Yeah not sure how that works, bearing in mind that the tickets for the music hall gig were, i think £12, and 600 x 12 is £7200 not £10,000... and thats not including hire of venue and PA hire etc

I really enjoyed the gig.. well, I left around ten fifteen so missed Black Atom but the rest was pretty good.

Baby Karma were great and a lot of fun - the covers were well done and I liked their own stuff too - I love Because acoustic and it was nice to hear it all banded up too! And I thought Emma's vocals were really good actually.. It was a little quiet, perhaps, but I think the vocals were underamplified and the keyboards were a bit too loud (not that that's a bad thing, especially with such a Rather Dashing keyboardist as Richanté!) but the actual singing was great and not weak at all.

Mind Gone Blind's set rocked too (I think the two first acts were the best), their own material is good (better than the samples on their site as well) and I liked the covers too. I wouldn't say they murdered Pink Floyd at all!! I mean... a little screwy trying to do Pink Floyd without a keyboardist.. *grumble* but they did it well and it was a great song choice that got people singing along. Plus the bassist looks like Phil Collins.

The X-Certs were good, they aren't really my kind of thing but they're clearly all top performers and got a good crowd reaction

Umm... Onion Terror and Stayover have become entangled in my mind but with some help I think I've managed to figure out which was which... both were pretty cool, Stayover's "Bring on the Sluts" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" were good fun and the medley thing by OT was a nice idea and got a great 80s atmosphere going.

And now that I can't say anything about Black Atom I feel bad so I'll just say that THEY WERE AWESOME!


Thanks / well done to everyone involved in the organisation!! £8 was kind of a lot but I reckon it was worth it
