Crown gig went very well. Nice venue and good crowd although acoustics were poor, so couldn't hear ourselves clearly. I fairly messed up a couple of tunes =¬) but nobody seemed to notice (much). Had a couple on encores so can't be bad.

Are those automated comments from Tracker Gem?, just I thought it might be a useful thing for Zipjam to use but not if it sends regular comments.
