The set contained an eclectic mix of bands, who all gave it their all and put on a damn good show. The days events were held outside in the beer garden, with that great Northern wind keeping everyone cold as fuck...The evening however saw us take shelter upstairs in the Duke.
The venue itself is pretty class , sick stage and it can get real intimate but still accommodate a lot of people, for those who showed up at Milo it was sort of like that but about 10 times bigger.
Pretty awesome to play to a new crowd, although we had our ever loyal band of followers from Oxley A4 repping all the way from Leeds, whaaa'! Seriously , Tash, Steph, Oli and Chris get a big one for coming down, even if they did get lost and end up in Scunthorpe ( See Tinie Tempah it ain't so hard to go Scunny..)
First time we had a sound guy do sound on the go, wouldn't advise it but pulled it off well to keep us going so fuck it!
This is going to be the last gig Cables do 'till Autumn, when we'll be returning with a new set to keep you cunts happy and a new EP looks like it's also on the cards.
Unfortunately the final note on this blog has to be a rather upsetting one.
Mark Holland has to return to America to complete his degree and see his family. It's been an amazing year and it's quite upsetting that we have to see him go, you don't really make friends like Mark often, and you certainly don't find musicians of his caliber and dedication just like that either. None of us knew how fast and serious this band would get so it's come as a shock that the time is upon us for him to leave.
He'll keep himself busy over there though, watch this space for links to his new project when he touches back down in Boston.
Cables will miss you dearly.
You'll catch us expressing all the love in Dry Dock , Leeds, tomorrow evening. If you're about come have a pint and say bye to one of the finest drummers all of us in the band have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Much Love Sparky
