Acoustic Set.

Ricky and The Pigeons played their first acoustic gig last night at the birthday get together for Katrina. It was a great set, with a lively audience (one of whom more lively than the others.)

They played a long gig, which included most of the songs off their album and all their new originals such as Final Stand, Cougars and Fighter, and new covers, Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Jet) and Henrietta (The Fratellis).

The band sounded great acoustically, and it gave a totally different feel to their songs. The inclusion of a drum box (in this case a box shelf) meant Graham could still be part of it without being too loud, although, it did hurt his hands. Ricky played bass using the lower strings of an acoustic guitar.

The set went well, and despite the consumption of alcohol throughout, it didn't seem to affect their performance!
