Cynics Anonymous

I go to as many gigs as is financially possible and thought it would be sensible to keep a journal of gigs I go to, cds I buy, new and old bands I come across and anything else I fancy going on about.

June 20 - Glasgobury @ Glasgow Barfly

No its not a spelling mistake, this is Glasgow's very own alternative festival showcasing 40 unsigned bands over two stages from midday to midnight...and since its a week before Glastonbury you get the idea for the name!

At the last minute SmytherJones got the chance to play although we were give opening spot on the main stage. There were only a few in attendance, being at such an early time, but for the first time we were given a full sound check, which gave us a chance to hear some of our songs through a superb PA and we were all extremely pleased with what we heard. Due to the sound check running over by 10 minutes we were given less time than expected but we got 4 songs out and they sounded great.

We stayed around for a couple of hours but unfortunately didn't see any other bands as we hung around the bar and had a laugh instead.

cheers
