The band Wall of Roses (with me on bass) has been working towards this album release show for a while, and last night was the big day
We played the upstairs room at Simplon, the smaller room at the smaller indie-friendly venue in Groningen. (Capacity 150; we sold over 120 tickets, so it was pretty full.)
We hired a photographer and the venue has one on staff, so we have a metric h*ck load of shots
The sound and lighting guys were lovely. Super friendly, super professional and cooperative.
For Hans (drums and lead vocals) and Siebrand (guitar and vox), it was the realisation of a dream; for Gertjan (lead guitar) it was an emotional occasion too; you know how lead guitarists are.
As the bass player I stand at the back trying not to fuck everything up, mostly, but it is the nature of a rock band to get onstage and rock and I enjoyed it a great deal too.
