 Post subject: Successful gig in El Medano's Manfred's Soul Bar |
 |
|
Last night my friends Alan the Harp, Anna, Tony and Pat Duncan wanted me to go a jam night at Manfred's Soul Bar in El Medano and I ended up doing a very successful set of 5 songs including an encore plus I had the house band backing me and the guitarist has played with Pat Metheny. It was a mixed audience of Spanish Canarians and Brits so it was wonderful to find how well I managed to do bearing this in mind! I played my songs 'Superhero', 'Kingfisher' and 'Jungle Love' as well as covers of 'Sloop John B' and 'Stand by me.' Simon whose band it is and who runs the night has invited me back to play in September.

Sloop John B is one of the easiest cos everybody knows that one. I tend to rock it up a bit at the end and make a point of emphasising "This is the worst trip I've ever been on!" It's a good one for getting audience participation. BTW I recommend the venue highly and as you can see they have a stage that can accomodate a full band and drummer!

It did get busier when I was on cos people were coming in hearing my rockin' sounds! I got them clapping and singing along and giving me a yee-hah on 'Superhero!' Simon and band tended to be a lot quieter than me plus band! We were telling him to sing louder!
