James Hunter

The night after doing the Messiah recording LM and I had to set up in 227 for a live recording with an audience of a british git called James Hunter. I'd never heard of him but apparently he is quite popular, doing 60's style blues/rock.

I was mixing the PA and LM was mixing the recording. So we had to set up a PA. Dig were also there with 3 cameras to film the event.

James was just doing a solo act with his Electric guitar, singing and stomping his foot.

The audience came in at 6:30 and he started playing at about 6:40. All was going along nicely and then a bit before 7:00 he says "thanks for coming this is my last one". And it was all over. Everyone was looking a bit surprised when he walked out. He came back for an encore, but yep the whole thing was over by about 7. That was really the shortest gig I have ever seen. It was completely bizarre. Not much of a night out for the audience.

We ate the leftovers from the green room afterwards.
