Company Convention 2012

Given the choice, I'd rather see the full band too, but only because my last two have been acoustic.

That's exactly my point. As the FishHeads tour has been going for over 18 months, it's a long time since anyone saw Fish play an electric set. Don't get me wrong, I would be happy to see another acoustic performance - but I'd be gutted to miss an electric one

I hear you. And it has crossed my mind. Problem is, it will probably be my mam who looks after the little one and she was a teacher.... and both my older kids go to the same school that I would be "truanting" from..... Not good.

I see your point! - That wouldn't be a particularly nice situation for your kids to be in. - There-in lies a problem......

Which is not to say that I don't have a cunning plan...

Are teachers not allowed to have any holidays apart from the school hols, then? Not even a couple?

Nope.

Persuade Fish to hold the convention at your school?

Leamington Spa, Newcastle and Haddington for example?

I agree with the suggestions that 2 'electric' full bands gigs would be better than one acoustic night followed by one 'electric' one. As the second night is going to 'album launch' then there's going to be loads of music that no one has heard before, and not a huge amount of time to play some older stuff.

Perhaps a better scenario would be the album launch on the Saturday, followed by a Fish back catalogue night on the Sunday, and if the desire is there for an acoustic performance, then why don't the band do a short set on one of the afternoons (as was done at the 2009 convention).
