Gig log , 21st Birthday Dolgellau Wales uk Aug 1st 2008

0:00 It's second event for today now

Alright guys, it's second event for today now. Off on the way to a town called Dolgetlai, sometimes known as Dologaloo. And it's a 21st birthday party in the rugby club. Just done Borth Carnival 2008, that's a charity event. I've done that a couple of years running, I used to do it years ago. Don't get paid for it at all. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you To Jonathan, he's dad. I know I'm Jonathan. But Jonathan, he's dad from It's A Gift because they're the people who made me welcome, gave me the power supply and supplied me with a couple of cups of coffee and loads of ice cream. So it was good fun. Very good. The beginning of the event was so funny because I had the speaker set up on stands and a gust of wind

Thank you for watching.

Coming into a town now called Machynlleth. Follow it by your BT on Radio 1! Top Tower? Now that is a nice feature. I don't care what people say. Right, still on the way. I'd like to give you two bits of advice. First of all, while Brian and I are filming we are paying 99% of our attention to the road and 1% to the camera because the camera quite often is just sat On the dashboard, and the only thing we're doing is holding it steady. That's it. Secondly, if you watch the video, or videos, could have been two, I don't know, it depends how long it is, on the board carnival, you'll notice that I had some speakers wrapped in plastic, cellophane, whatever you want to call it. Now you're probably thinking, why? Well, there's a good reason, and that is it stops them from getting wet. But what you haven't got to worry about, there's a motorbike behind me, papping his horn, I don't know why.

2:47 Of course that's to stop them getting wet

Because I'm not doing anything wrong at all, so who knows what. Anyway, you're probably wondering why the plastic was around the speakers. Well of course that's to stop them getting wet. And you're probably wondering how does the sound get through the speakers? Well quite easily, it just travels through. So some advice for you is if you're going to be putting speakers outside, wrap them in cellophane because It will protect them from the wet and it will stop them from getting wet. Also more importantly, you know, you'll still get good sound quality out of them so just a bit of information for you. Right this is a look up the valley and this is a look down the valley. Dodgy van again. Right we're here at the rugby club now and I'll show it you in a second but in the meantime

I don't know, a while ago people were taking the piss on my satellite navigation system which was of course a piece of paper with a couple of squiggly lines on it, some numbers which were associated with the road numbers and that was my way of getting around. Well just to let you know I've gone up in the world now. I have got a proper satellite navigation system. I'd like to show it to you. Excuse me. And here it is. It's called a map. Now just to let you know For all the people who use James James, Fred Freds, Burt Burts and Tom Toms, this is what people used to use. Now let me show you where we are in relation to Scotland, England and there's Wales. That is Aberystwyth, now just above there is a place called Borth and that's where the carnival was today. So I'm going to pause the camera and we'll have a look in relation to there and where we are now.

5:38 Rugby club in Dogethlae

And that is Borth, that's where we were, or where I was today. So I travelled along here, up here, all the way along here to that place there called Machynlleth and then behind about 5,000 caravans doing three and a half miles an hour. We've all been and done it and we're all along here. And that there is the lake that we saw earlier. And then, that's where we are now. Oops, sorry, there in Dogethlae, or more commonly known as Dollagaloo for anyone who can't speak Welsh. Thank you. Tripod. Right, there you go folks, I'm set up now. Rugby club in Dogethlae. And just ladies, this is the first time this room has been used, isn't it? Yeah. It is. Right, they don't want to be on film but I can hear you though, can't I? Yes. Do you like Dogethlae? Yes, very nice.

Tell me the good points about Golgotha Live. What are the bad points? Any? No, there's no bad points really. Good. Good. Alright then. Well we'll see what happens tonight and apparently everything is new in here. So I've got this guy here today. That is a power amplifier. It's a Cam KXT-3600 Mark II. Alright, what is it? Well it's a power amp and I don't know if you can see at the front but it's got three knobbly bits. Those are the gain controls or volume controls, attenuators, whatever you want to call them. But there's a left and a right and a bass so this guy has got three amplifiers in it. What you've got is the dial furthest away is say the right channel, the one in the middle is the left channel and then the one closest to us is the bass channel. Here we go folks

7:52 This is the young lady

This is the young lady. It's your birthday today, isn't it? Yeah. And how old are you? 21. 21. What's your name? Kim. Where are you from? Golgotha. Golgotha. And sister? Are you older or younger? Younger. Younger. So how old are you then? 17. 17. Oh, so we've got a 21-year-old, 17. So what are you going to do for your 21st birthday party? Party. Have a big party. Have a big party. So guys... Another gig log for you. Tonight was an interesting one. Fantastic crowd, wonderful just atmosphere. But then it kicked off. Yeah, it was fisticuffs and goodness knows what. Which is a bit of a shame because it does sometimes spoil a very good evening. But it does happen. You know, at the end of the day, you are going to get a fight possibly

In a 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, any sort of birthday party, you get fights at weddings. Sometimes people have a bit too much and they just can't control themselves. The only advice I can give to you, a fight taking place, stop all music, turn it down and if you can, if you can, turn all your lights off and the lights in the room on. In other words, all of a sudden, Dead silence, well there's not going to be silence because people are going to be screaming and shouting. But all of a sudden you've gone from this sound, vision and everything to just a room with white light and no volume. And it changes the atmosphere like that. And then some more advice, don't carry on if you're playing hardcore full-on dance music. Do not

Carry on playing that stuff. Oh, shit. Start to play some soul R&B mellow stuff. That'll wind you down. Enough from me. Thanks for watching. Practice and enjoy.
