So the actual gig happened, I was more nervous than I've ever been , which I still don't really understand as I have vj'ed from onstage in front of 30,000 people, but I was completely freaked out by an audience of less than a 100 all either fellow students or their parents
The rest of the band did great, but I fluffed two intros and completely forgot the solo/outro I had been crafting for weeks in favour of random noodling on the pentatonic, thankfully the drummer rescued both intros and I avoided pulling the "I screwed up face" so no one was the wiser
as a band we went down well, everything else was tight and the other guys did a really great job, particularly the 16year old girl who in the space of 1 term went from not knowing what a distortion pedal was to rocking the hell out of "Cannonbal" AND teaching herself the mandolin so that she could play it on "Losing my Religion"
The brief was songs from the 90's so we had to do alot of compromising to find things we were all happy with, my contribution was a rousing funk metal version of "Spice up your Life" which we ended with and went down a storm
unfortunately my wife didn't take any group shots so here is a nicely shot one of me and a blurry group shot someone uploaded to phacebook so you can see the age gap
