New Rumours CD release!!

Hello, hello!  It’s been a while and actually we’ve played a gig since I last posted so sorry about that but I was lacking photos for the blog and really (IMHO) a blog needs some pics…

But I digress.  John the ‘Digital Sound Man’  http://www.digitalsoundman.co.uk/ has finished mastering our songs and has designed a pretty flashing CD cover to encase our little Compact Disc.  Photos below

We’re playing two gigs over this weekend in Watchet so if I can get some photos, or maybe even if I can’t, then I’ll post about them.

The Easter Saturday Gig

…and also Jayson’s birthday! Whoop, whoop!!  Emma made an amazing cake which was well tasty and we shared it out amongst everyone in the pub which went down very well.

Another great gig at the Quay Inn, Minehead.  Thanks to everyone who came to support us including Jayson’s posse and the Gould family.  We thought we were starting at 8.30 but Mike was keen for us to get going so we did a couple unplugged whilst John beavered away getting all the gear set up.

It was probably the busiest gig we’ve played as Rumours and actually I did feel a little bit nervous, which is quite unlike me!  Glad that I could ‘hide’ at the back and just kick out some good rhythms.  We’d been practicing quite a bit and so it was great to perform some of the songs we’d worked on including the first public performances of ‘heavy’ and ‘a little bit funny’ written by the very talented Emma Hill.

I sang a few more than I usually do which was good and that was especially enjoyed by a couple of guys at the bar who came up inbetween sets and had a good chat.  They’d had a few but it’s always nice to get complements!  They also strutted their funky stuff on the dance floor which was well good.

We’re playing at the Quay again in a couple of weeks which is quite soon so we’ll have to learn a bunch of new songs!!

We’re also busy organising our 2016 gigs so if you’re looking for a quality band to play an event or pub then let us know!

 

Thanks for reading.  Peace out xx

The Valentine’s Day Gig.

This was a great gig, if i do say so myself!  A bar full of friends, a good set list and we nailed it.  It’s probably easier for me as I mostly play cajon so I’m not worrying about remembering lyrics or tricky parts on the guitar.

We’d organised a Valentines Day set list with a few more romantic numbers to start with as we weren’t sure if we’d be playing whilst people were eating etc.  As it turned out the  Quay in Minehead just wanted a standard set list so we did that and mighty good fun it was!

There was some disruption as Emma’s voice had been chased away by her heavy head cold. She came along anyway, braving the elements and in the end couldn’t resist the lure of the stage!

Here are some photos;

It’s really handy that we’re all quite flexible as musicians.

We’re busy recording stuff so will post about that next.
