Hi Everyone,
A new page has gone live on www.allthesethingsivedone.com it can be found here. An updated “About” page will be online soon.
Thanks.
Well it’s just after 9am and I’m just about to start getting ready for the third scheduled stop on the “We Are The Generation Tour” which is in Bath. How’s it been so far? To answer that really briefly - hectic.
Here’s a quick run through of my last few days.
Saturday:
Arrive, provide my driving licence, and collect a splitter van from the Central Hall car pakr which required a 37 point turn(if you’ve never been is a triangle). Then drive from Southampton to Winchester and wait for the rest of the band. They then rehearsed while I made general tweaks to the mixing desk and rang Rosie. Pack up was completed by 7 and we were back at Central Hall for 7:45.
Sunday:
Wake up after really bad nights sleep I managed to get cramp in both my legs. D’Oh! Hobble round for a bit. Drink coffe for a bit. Go to Church where 24-7 are holding their international gathering. After Church it’s back to the van for the trip to Maidenhead via Guilford. Once we arrive “get in” seems to take longer than expected (possibly because of all the merch that we’re carrying) and this impacts on sound check time. Still it all gets done. About 750 turn up in the evening and 91 either commit or recommit their lives to God. By the time we’ve packed up it’s 11:30pm and we finally make it in by 1:30am
Monday:
Slept a lot better, though think it’s exhaustion. Today is the Central Hall event and we have plenty of time to be ready. I spend the morning virtually programming a desk for further along the tour which is going to save a lot of time that day. Once I arrive at Central Hall I start what seems the long hard process of setup - working out where monitor mixes will be, preparing mic stands, etc. The band appear over a two hour time frame and by 4pm everything is plugged in and ready to go. Sound Check takes 25 minutes and then they have some rehearsal time. Roy arrives just after 5pm and it takes a few minutes to get his IEM/Wedge mix sounding how he wants it - still with that done they go through a couple of songs and go and eat. The event starts and 7:30pm and there is a great atmosphere of praise and worship. Loads of people get prayed for loads of people commit or re-commit lives to God.
So, it’s nearly the middle of July and it’s been a bit quiet on the blog. And you know what I’ve kind of enjoyed this mini-blog break. It doesn’t mean nothings being going on, on the contrary - plenty has just I don’t want to reveal it until I’ve had a few more discussions and done just a little more writing.
Just as quick side note - I’m still waiting for my iPhone to activate and it seems I’m not the only one. An article found online says that people have been told they face waiting until Thursday before there phones are activated. It could be me but that’s quite a bit longer than the 2 or 3 days claimed by o2! Oh well…as the Guinness adverts have said for years: Good things come to those who wait.
