So some regular readers of StrungOut and faithful twitter followers will have noticed that my last two posts are no longer available for public consumption. There is a reason for this, but boringly, I’m not at liberty to tell you what that is right now. Bear with me, I’ll try and be interesting about other things. I’ve been bowled over by the sheer number of people that read them and commented on them. I have also received my first couple of negative comments on twitter….which stung. Luckily I have a close friend who is a controversial columnist and she was available for skin thickening tutorials.
This week I filmed a little online advert with my fellow Ravens. It was an idyllic two days, local gig, well paid, parking, TV catering (always brilliant. If I worked on a TV set I’d be the size of a house), and excitingly talented session players to work with. It was a remarkably nice gig to get and we were so appreciative of it that we started to reminisce about other gigs that were as lovely. The list was short. Then our trip down memory lane turned ugly, which led me to today’s post:
RAVEN’S TOP 5 MOST DISASTROUS GIGS
I should point out here that the vast majority of Raven performances go to plan without a hitch. I’m not lying….we are getting older and are less and less tolerant of stress these days, so we are uber efficient and well rehearsed. I could tell you about our best most seamlessly executed gigs, but let’s face it, no one wants to read that.
