The gig

[Romain / rXg]

Declan ,
Shame it didn t work , very unlucky and very frustrating I guess ...:()...
I'm sure next time you will rock the people to the moon or something like
that  :)
cause all in all  you will be more prepared /aware from all those wrong
stuff which can always happen  ...
Few years ago, someone from music bar or from somewhere else  told me :
"Practice makes  perfect"
Next time  I m sure it will go better ... ;)
Don t give up ! continue the good work .. :P
