It’s always a brilliant feeling when a gig diary rolls around to a brand-new spot. This Wednesday evening from 7:00 pm, I’ll be heading into Shrewsbury to play my very first live set at Lucky Shot, located right in the heart of town on Castle Street.
Getting a chance to impress somewhere you haven’t played before always makes you take stock. When I plug the pedalboard in and settle behind the mic this week, Lucky Shot will become the 187th different venue I've played at over the years. There’s something uniquely energizing about walking into a room for the first time, figuring out its acoustic quirks, and seeing how the crowd connects with the songs.
If you haven't been down there yet, Lucky Shot is a fantastic modern addition to the Shrewsbury scene, brought to you by the creative team behind Dough & Oil and Bobby's Tacos. Situated right on Castle Street (just a stone's throw from the library and M&S), it’s got a brilliant, welcoming vibe, a great selection of drinks, and a kitchen dishing up some top-tier bar bites. I’m told the Scotch Eggs are particularly divine!!!
The gear is packed, the loop station and guitar are ready to go, and I'm really looking forward to a great evening of live music in the town centre. If you're around Shrewsbury this Wednesday evening, come on down, pull up a chair, and join me for a pint and some tunes. Music kicks off at 7:00 pm—see you there!
