Gig Log December 2015

0:00 It's very simple, very cheap

Okay, so here we are. We have on the top there the cam power bar giving some nice mood lighting. I've set it on the foot switch just down there so it's going through different colours. We have Chauvet Intimidate Spot 350 IRC and we have one of my favourite lights of all time, the Chauvet 4Play Clear CL. It's very simple, very cheap. But it does a wonderful job. Look at that. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Very pleased with that. We've got another 350 over there. And then the PA is the QSC. I've got the KLA liner A's, two of those. And then the KW... Sorry, the KW-12, the 18. So they're all powered. Run 1,000... I've got a bunch of stuff here ready for the Silent Disco. They just wanted a couple of lights in there, so I'm pretty much going to stick them on the floor and let them flash. I've got a smoke machine in case I need it, and we've got these here, which are the FreedomPars Quad 4s IP rated, so they can go outside but they're staying in. I might put those around the wall somewhere. Kaley band as well. And there you go. So I'm going to...

Have you got all the silent disco stuff? Okay, another vat. Absolutely amazing. Look at that. That is what you call an ice sculpture. First class. And we go through here. Hi guys. Hi there. You don't mind being on the internet do you? Being on the internet? Yeah. Chris, thank you very much. Chris and Mary. Sir, what's your name? My name's Antoine. Antoine. Antoine. Pleasure. Been a long way since. Hi guys, I'm on my way home. In fact, I'm nearly home now. I don't know what time it is, but long story short, my phone broke a while ago, went to get it fixed in the place in Aberystwyth and the numpty had a screen, didn't put it on properly, said bring it back a week later, I'll fix it next Friday which was yesterday, took it in three days before Friday, went to pick it up yesterday

Which was Saturday, sorry. That's right, I took it in for... Sorry, I'll start again. I'll start again. I'm tired. I took it to him over a week ago and he put a screen on it and it didn't work. So he said take it back but he doesn't get any new screens till Friday. You don't really want to hear this but sod it, I'm going to tell you anyway. But I went into Aberystwyth earlier so I took it in on the Tuesday. He said come and get it on the Friday. I thought, you know what? I'll go in Saturday which was yesterday. I need it for work purposes and just for the communication, but I don't really need it. But anyway, when to get it? Oh, I haven't fixed it yet. It's like, oh great. So anyway, never mind. Right, that's over and done with. So tonight, very good fun and I'm sorry I didn't get much footage, but like I said, I didn't really want to film the people there. It's a private event and it's not the sort of

8:33 Probably most of them don't want to be on the web, but great fun

That everyone wouldn't mind being on the web. Probably most of them don't want to be on the web, but great fun. The artist was absolutely amazing. He was fantastic. Tips for you, well actually one tip, one very, very big tip is on the way home if you're knackered, chill out. I did for about 20 minutes, half an hour because I got really tired. I thought nope that's it, must go to sleep. Beer and wine was flowing Like water and I had three tins of coke, some apple juice and orange juice. That was it. Mind you, I did bring two bottles of beer home with me. No, great fun. I did take a lot of footage by the way or took a lot of pictures. So what I'll do, I'll upload those to my Facebook and I'll put a link to that which is there. The QSC system just purred.

Now, I'm going to give you a bit of an analogy. I love analogies. But the limiter did kick in. And a lot of limiters on sound systems are a bit like a hammer hitting you over the head. Turn that music down, you silly person! It is. Stop turning me up because you're going to hurt me really, really lots, lots, lots, lots, you naughty person. Whereas the QSC system is a bit like your mum or your auntie. They'll come up to you and they'll go... Listen, turn it down a little bit and what they'll do is they'll push your head down a little bit until you move your head and then they'll take their hand off your head and then bring it back up again slowly. That's exactly how it works because you see the red light come on, limiter kicks in, you turn it down a little bit and it doesn't go flash on and off, on and off, it just goes, oh well done, you've turned it down. Aren't you a good boy?

And then he goes off, instead of, turn that bloody music down you silly bastards! Right. So, great fun. Don't forget, if you get tired, go to sleep. Not while you're driving. And have fun. And I'll finish off with practice and enjoy, thank you. Look at that. It's morning, bloody hell.
