New Song "Don't Need To Win" Live At The 3 Jolly Butchers - On 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

I enjoyed playing at The 3 Jolly Butchers on Saturday, and was pleased that I didn't get too nervous.(It was the first time I'd played a whole evening myself - two 45 min sets)
Getting the sound right in a noisy pub was pretty challenging
though.. Wasn't expecting it to be so noisy. Hard to get it loud enough without feedback unless I put the amp further forward, which then made it hard for me to hear myself...lots to learn!!
I'm using a Fishman Loudbox Mini. Am thinking if I'm going to do more pub gigs I need something a bit more powerful...or maybe just a mic stand mounted monitor so I can hear myself better.

Thanks Uncle J, yeah I was proud of myself to do a whole evening of my own songs...and get paid for it?!

Comment by bemuzic on November 18, 2015 at 5:55am

thanks Jim, yeah there were a group of football lads that were quite loud. Looked like a fight was going to break out at one point, but the landlord sorted them out! Oh no blender noise sounds like a pain : -/

thanks Digly..didn't know whether to remind you, but didn't want to be a pain as I knew you had so much going on!

 Ah I saw that amp a while ago, and couldn't believe it would be as loud as it said. I may ask Oily about it...

Good for you on playing all evening.  Nice, happy sound with a good clumpity clump beat.  Nice!

Very nicely done Be. It's always fun competing with bar conversations. I used to play at a Tiki Lounge and the noise from the blenders making pina coladas and margaritas would drown me out. At least nobody was hollering "Freebird!"

Sounds great and glad that it went well !  Sorry I missed the gig as it's only 4 miles down the road :-\  Brain fade, trying to spin too many plates at the moment. 

Have you seen these ?  I think that Oily has one of their amps and reckons it's pretty loud:
