0:00 Couple of speakers ready and lick it
Oh, so here we are. That is the entrance. Couple of speakers ready and lick it. Not yet set up completely but early days in that box. Amp cables and god knows what. Small flight case there has got a nice laser wheel lasering. Maybe a bit OTT here but there you go. Let's set some stuff up. As you can see I am set up. And that guy behind there, believe it or not, Function 4. Hello. The techno set later, yeah? Okay, what we got? We've got Intimidated Spot Duo, Cubix going on up there. We've got TM1800 RGB for laser world, that one, but I might use it. It's just a bit of an overkill for this size room. There you go. You show me Cubix. Spot Duo covers up all of the cables. 30. They're gonna go to Vegas!
5:11 I had a couple of white, sorry, black Scrim Kings
So I told him, we're going to have some fun. Right, for tonight. White and black Scrim Kings. White looks good, looks great. Use colours behind it, in front of it, etc. One downside to white is they get dirty. And when they get dirty, they look dirty. So you're forever cleaning them. Black, on the other hand, if it gets dirty, it's black. Unless, of course, you get white paint on it. Which means it's dirty. So I had a couple of white, sorry, black Scrim Kings. Looked pretty cool. Lighting was, I'd say, enough for the setup. The PA system was too loud but then again as I've always said it's always better to take a louder PA system than you can turn down instead of a quiet PA system that you cannot turn up. That is so important. I can't stress that enough. Too many people I know
They turn up with a couple of small speakers and they're buggered because they can't turn the damn system up. But you can always turn a big system down. What else can I say? Another tip for you. Driving past Llanelliwys earlier on, I was in the speed limit doing probably about 63-64 and I saw a police car in front of me. I slowed down. What I didn't do is put my brakes on. You put your brakes on Then it means that you know you've done something wrong, you're too fast or something. And they're more likely to stop you. Now I'm not saying they didn't stop me because I didn't put my brakes on, what I'm saying is that as I went past they probably thought he's got nothing to hide, you know, he's carrying on about his daily business or nightly business, let him get on with it! So that's what I did, I didn't put my brakes on. So any police out there watching this,
I don't know, maybe that's what you look for. But if I was sat in a police car watching a car go past fast, not too fast, within the speed limit and all of a sudden they slam their anchors on, I'd think, oi, something's wrong here. What have they got to hide? Instead of someone just zooming past, seeing a police car, making note of the police car and just saying, look, got nothing to hide, I'm carried on about my daily business. Which is precisely what I did. Excluding the dead bodies in the back and about four tons of cocaine. Just kidding about the cocaine. No, but anyway, so it's a very good gig. Thank you very much indeed. And I hope you enjoy the footage, how very little there was. Bit of an overkill with the kit, but you know, it's always good to have good quality kit. The Wharfdale speakers, I tell you what, they are amazing. It's the Delta Series 15.
A horn, two inch compression driver, four of them run on the 2800 amps they've got and I was blown away with them man. It's fantastic so can't fault it. Can't fault it one bit. And I have another birthday next week then we've got a few more gigs around Christmas so yeah more gig logs coming up and I want to go home now to my bed. Knackered. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
