Gig logs Aberystwyth and Catterick December 2009

0:00 She's a new bloke, isn't she?

Right, here we are guys in the Marine Hotel and I set up as best as I can. The trouble is when you're using the video projector, you've just got to put your stuff where you can really. One thing... I'm fine. That woman over there has got a nice pair of tits. She's a new bloke, isn't she? One thing you've got to do is you've got to try and make do with the room you've got on one side. What I've done is, I've got that set up there, I've got one of the Xmove LEDs on there, and what I've tried to do is get some sort of continuity here. Something looks a bit stereo, you know, same there, same the other side. But what I've done, I've got two, just at the top of them, two of the CamVortex 15s there.

And then I've got a couple there. Now ideally you want them sort of, let's say for the crowds here, you'd want one speaker there and one speaker sort of there, so they're at a level. But the trouble is, they're using that door in and out, so that's why the screen itself is at an angle. Now at the moment what I've done here, which is quite a nice effect, we've got this guy here. People always ask me what stuff is, so that's the Mighty Colido by Cam. What I've done is I've got that on the screen.

So, if I just go like this around here. See also, it's a tiny thing but I put that cloth over that part of the tripod because you're going to have people walking in and out just so they can see it. There you go. Just something different. It's a little bit off centre as you can see but nothing I can do about that. Right, we're on now. Here we are in the kitchens of the Marine Hotel. Now this guy here, I've known him, how long have I known him? A couple of weeks? He's an idiot. He's called Barry. He's got nothing to do with Barry Manilow, but he's probably a better singer than him. All right, here we go. So what's your name sir? My name is Ollie. This is Phoebe. And you're working tonight, is that right? Yes. Waiting staff. So it's a carvery tonight, isn't it? That's right. Am I right in saying what we've basically got is we've got different groups of people coming along so no one knows anybody and every business. It's the place to be. It's the place to be, isn't it? What I do like, the carvery.

3:32 I don't know, make up your own opinion, tell me what you think

You can basically stuff yourselves, can't you? That's right. You can go out for more and also they do Calvary on Sunday as well. There's the boss then. There's the boss. Do you want to be on film, boss? On the internet? Oh, are you going to do that? It'd be good if you did that tonight. Are you doing that tonight? Yeah. Right, very random but they use one of those to scoop ice cream out of foodstuff and things. That's in case the chef needs a drink. That's in case he needs a sit down.

Because it looks good and even though it's not a big effect, it's not in people's eyes. So, I don't know, make up your own opinion, tell me what you think. Hi guys, right again, slightly surreal because you've probably just seen a little bit of a gig but I didn't manage to record much of it because I was busy so I do apologise. And I was in the Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth To somewhere that I can't really say, hopefully I'll be able to film in there. Just, I'm not allowed to say where I'm going basically. But it's near Scotch Corner, which is a long way away. And it's near sort of Darlington, Stockton area. And my sister lives near Stockton, so what I've done, my mum's come for, well, sort of around Christmas time to see me and the kids and whatnot. So I dropped her off with me mum, and Ella's gone there as well.

I've now got to go about 30 mile down the A1M, do the gig, travel another 30 mile up, stay there tonight, have a little dash around Sedgefield car boot sale, which is awesome. It's like huge, massive, it's a bit like a garage sale but lots of garages stuck together and stuff. And then go back, random, see? Marvellous, random. And then go back tomorrow. So there you go. There we are, on the tube. Right, here we are guys, we're at the venue and I'm allowed to say exactly where I am. I'm in Vimy Barracks, okay? And I want to show you a tip here. Alright, there you go. G-clamp onto a laser and we've got that. Now, I don't know if you noticed but occasionally over a period of time that could possibly come loose.

Put a little tiny cable tie over the top, so if it does come loose, theoretically the cable tie may not stop it completely, but it's going to help out quite considerably. Okay, set up, got the Christmas tree happening in the other room. There you go. DJ skirts, DJ screens, really blurry video. So I'm in the other room. This is the chill-out area. Check this out. Normally I don't drink. The DJ Tutor offers a wide range of sound effects, including bass, drums and drums. The DJ Tutor offers a wide range of sound effects, including bass and drums.
