wedding gig

On Saturday Random Numbers played our first ever wedding – we were being paid so we felt under a lot of pressure. We arrived at 11:30am to set up at the Blackwell Grange (the very hotel where Paul Gasgoigne was arrested earlier in the week). But 1pm we were just about ready which gave us about an hour to sound check, go through a few tracks we felt needed it and then set our lights up. We had to be out by 2pm – the wedding was taking place at that time just next door. We played two sets (8:30pm – 9:15pm and 10:30pm to midnight) and it couldn’t have gone better. Two people asked us for bsuiness cards so hopefully we’ll get some more gigs out of it. However, it’s not exactly something we do for the money. We got £400 between us for about 12 hours work!! Didn’t get away until 1am – not back in Leeds until 2am and then suffering from sound sickness today. Is it all worth it?
