"To come this close and not get the record feels a bit like a failure but we have done seven gigs in twelve hours and had an unforgettable day."
The Temps on their record breaking day that ended at Head of Steam, twelve hours after it began at the New Band Stage. Damaged equipment, (a broken guitar amp and bass guitar) made the final show on the steps of St George's Hall impossible and the world record of 'eight gigs in one day' a gig too far.
The record breaking day for the Liverpool lads began at the New Band stage in Williamson Sq. at 11am before moving to the Pier Head for an impromptu set in one of the areas the festival doesn't stretch to. Other shows at Heebie Jeebies, Mocha Lounge, the deck of a ship in the Albert Dock, Head of Steam and a performance from the steps of the Granada TV building saw the band rack up a record breaking seven MSF performances in twelve hours.
Seven shows in one day at Mathew Street Music Festival must be a new MSF record and The Temps have added something unique, spontaneous and organic to an enormously successful event for the city.
