Final Gig of 2011 - House Show

So there you have it, our last performance together until 2012. Last night saw us playing an intimate house show in Michael's living room to end our 2011 gigging life. It's been a great year of gigging and you can read all about our touring life in the post below.


With a spread put on by Michael, my MP3 player providing the background music and an audience of family, friends and local fans it was the setting for a perfect night. People started arriving from 7pm and after an hour or so of mingling we took to the stage around 8:30, played for about 45mins, took a short break and returned to play for another half hour. We felt we played a great set of songs and the audience seemed to agree. The usual Barricades Rise banter was flowing, a string was broke and a few lyrics were forgotten but hey, it wouldn't be a successful night if that didn't happen :)
Here's some raw video footage of our performance



The drink flowed until around 3am and a great evening was had by all. Thanks to everyone that came.
