And just like that it’s done, bit of a shame I couldn’t come back on the bus with you guys but the 2024 Rednock School Swing Band 3 Countries Tour has been so amazing and it went by far too quickly. Gig 3 of 3 of the Rednock School International Music Tour was in the beautiful German 🇩🇪 city of Aachen. It went brilliantly and while the acoustics were a bit of a challenge we managed to get through without any noticeable feedback. At the same time though we didn’t need the string mics thanks to the acoustics, seemed to be a win in everyone’s eyes 😉 Massive well done to our two singers Molly & Tommie; you guys sang beautifully. Ruby absolutely slayed every damn guitar solo 🎸🎸🎸 and violins you guys somehow tolerated my pointing mics at you that I know you didn’t really want. All of you have been awesome to work with. I also owe a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me move kit around, without you guys I actually wouldn’t have gotten through a single gig. And finally TONY 🚌 TONY 🚌 TONY 🚌 TONYYY you were such a cool driver and we loved seeing you at all our gigs watching in the audience and keeping all our cases safe, we love you.
The techy info for those who want it: the Alto PA system worked an absolute treat and I always felt like it had more headroom no matter how hard I drove during the guitar solos; I didn’t have a single hiccup with the Behringer XR-18 and the flexibility was spot on for throwing in random extra channels and the Mackie Thump Go went down an absolute hit on the bus as well as Karaoke night back at the hotel.
