Remembering the Comeback Gig: Why Playing for Friends & Family Was Our Biggest Challenge

Описание: That feeling of stepping back on stage after time away

This was our first live gig after returning to the circuit in 2024, and honestly, we were all nervous and thrilled. Playing at The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham - a beloved local venue with a reputation for showcasing great live music - made it even more special.
Our friends and family packed the place, which somehow made the butterflies even stronger. There's something about performing for the people you love that raises the stakes, but once we hit that first chord, everything clicked.

For those of you who are musicians - do you know that feeling?

The atmosphere at the "Wellie" (as regulars affectionately call it) is simply magical - quirky, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The lads in the band played brilliantly, and we fell head over heels for this traditional music pub.

Since this memorable night, we've been back several times, and we're already looking forward to more gigs there this year.

If you've ever experienced that mix of nerves and pure joy returning to something you love, you'll understand exactly how this felt. Tell us about it in the comments and subscribe for more music musings
