We trialled a new '2 big sets' format that didn't work for me as I ended up with a very full bladder 3 songs from the end of each set Going back to 3 sets in future 
Thanks to Adam Strayfalcon for standing in for the gig, rest assured that DC will be back for the next gig so other than the rythym section change, nothing is different - apart from the name and style of music, we're now going to play Irish versions of the blues and call ourselves the "Darcy O'Perry Irish Blues Band", so we are............ NOT
and as for 100 watt amps - SF had a 50 watt JCM800 and mine was the fuzZie Bro JTM45 clone, sitting at 40 watts - both really underpowered
You know any one of us would do the same thing if there was a gig to be played - thats the idea behind the "Auckland Blues Explosion"... its a group of people promoting the blues, and getting the message to as many people as possible - we're all on the same side, which is why we all support each others gigs, and try and get to as many as possible
