GIG Presentation, evaluation and critic

 On the 27th April, Rock Dove headlined at Drummonds in Worcester, in hopes to showcase their work and promote their EP to be released as part of my Final Major Project.


Please see below videos of the performance



"Enigma"

"Return Home"

"Another Man"

"Final Departure"

Evaluation & Critic

The gig went well, there were no major mistakes in the set list, and the ones that occurred were too little for the audience to notice (at least I hope so). We were offered another show in Birmingham which has been scheduled for 16th June at "The Victoria"as a supporting act for "Thrashead"




I start by evaluating my own performance which I think was appropriate for the venue and crowd that we had (around 90/100 pax), we were really surprised by the turnover considering we have only been a band since December 2022.  I would probably blame the nerves on my somewhat poor audience interaction, I think I was too focused on trying not to make any mistakes (but they still happened). It has only been my 4th gig since October last year so I'm still trying to deal with some new emotions.

The band as a whole behaved really well on stage, I would probably like to have some more clarity from the singer and a different/less spontaneous audience interaction/communication, believe that the whole band can prepare better when they know what and when the front man is going to say.

The tech side of the gig, the sound in the venue was. ok, my impression is that there was way too much bass which was overshadowing the guitars and even vocals, the drums sounded a somewhat poor when analysing higher frequencies.

Overall we believe the songs worked well with the audience and created a good vibe at the venue!
