	Big Num get to play to quite a decent sized crowd at the Hope & Anchor this time. There are one or two new songs - less obviously AC/DC influenced than much of their other material. However, the most noticable change is Luke's new guitar - he's using a Stratocaster instead of one of his usual Gibsons. This gives a clearer tone, but as Vic is playing a Telcaster the band sound thinner and more lightweight tonight. The band's energetic set goes down well with the crowd - it seems to contain more Big Num fans than usual. It's good to see the band playing to a fairly full room - they certainly deserve it after the work they have put in so far.
