lurksalot Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have just sat through a really good first set of a blues/country/softish rock covers outfit who are really good , there is me and 8 others in the bar , now if we were in the horse & jockey or even the dog & duck there would be no issue , but with 50,000 people passing through the neighbourhood today , 93,000 yesterday, and a constant throng outside the door, 200 people sat listening to the drivel of a karaoke 150 yards away , the management of this place needs sacking ..... Or Maybe the wrong sort of adults go to Disneyland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I guess those 93,000 people yesterday and 50,000 people today didn't go there to listen to a blues/country/softish rock covers outfit. Maybe if they dressed up as a mouse . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think they did all dress up as mice , maybe the band should have as well Having stayed for the second set , the band were good , little raport maybe , a touch bland with the song choices , but deserved better than they got , I am sure they were a pro act though and the €€ would have been enough to settle their bar tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Where in euro Disney ? The c and western band in frontier land were good Edited August 12, 2014 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Obviously people have better things to do and see there. I doubt the band would mind much...they know the score, took the gig and are getting paid. I'd bet it was a residency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 They were in the country bar in disney village, a great venue , quality sound and lights, it had everything you would expect, except people ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I guess so , it just seemed a bit mad to have such a decent set up and an empty bar , especially if it was like that most nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I believe Disney rotate their bands so they will know what the business does. I wonder if they do a matinee show as well... and if so, would expect them to be on cruise type money so worth doing..??? It will be tough to get in there as Disney control everything so the band will have to be good even if it can be a bit soul destroying. Welcome to the pro world of having to take all sorts. But sure, it that was typical for that band, then they'd not be invited back once the contract was over. I'd imagine the band would need to be good evening entertainment for the hotel guests onsite but there are also alternatives...but sure, a bit galling to be beaten out by kareoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
