Heh, I just realised you could review past events, so let’s go at it.
Obviously, I’d give this 5 stars, but let me explain how things went down.
Whilst we didn’t get the full capacity of the hall filled up, we did get a pretty decent number attending.
It actually took a fair bit of time to set up and run the soundchecks, and we’d just finished by the time people were arriving, which was around 20:15, (so we just put some background music on).
First up was my warm-up act, an electro-acoustic guitarist who is the very embodiment of a true busker, complete with almost swallowing the microphone; we then had a short interval before I took the stage and played several songs on the keyboard, after which there was another break, I then performed some stand-up comedy, and after another short break, there was a raffle and then some closing statements.
The entire duration of the gig was just over 2 hours and most of the people seemed to be enjoying it, which I was grateful for.
Most importantly though, we raised some money for a worthy charity, and I’m currently working on gaining funds for another charity event for Guide Dogs For The Blind UK.
I’d like to thank everyone who attended the event, and also the people who helped me out.

RyanHollingworth I'm going and helping Scott out with "roadie" work, good luck with the gig mate.
