The first gig suffered a little from audience paucity – possibly understandable given that it was a cold dark Wednesday night in Newport Pagnell – but what it lacked in bodies it more than made up for with the excitement of visiting the Watershed (http://watershedmk.com/) for the first time! Although we’re coming to it months after the rest of MK has cottoned on, it’s a smashing little venue! A friendly atmosphere, brilliantly bohemian décor, and a fantastic stage area upstairs too. All in all like a kind of cross between the back room of the Cannon and MADCAP. Definitely somewhere we’ll be checking out with gusto in 2012 – especially their Tuesday night Open Mic Poetry Art & Music nights!
The highlight of the Watershed gig was probably the ‘headline’ slot from the Phil Sky Experience. Because the Watershed guys had set us up a drumkit before they realised it was an acoustic tour, Olie couldn’t resist using it – so the set was a classic “acoustic guitar and drums” combo!
