sharkboy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've heard this one used before, successfully I might add - "Don't tell me how to do my job. Do I come down to the docks and tell you how to blow sailors?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weststarx Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1435321253' post='2807654'] Isn't tonight the night? [/quote] We had the gig last night and she was there. I was really pleased how well we handled her actually. She is a gobby cow for sure, but everyone there comes down to see the bands apparently, so everyone knew who she was and looked like they were fed up with her turning up every week heckling the bands anyway. So the only damage she was doing was to herself. She came up to us after the gig and threatened being even worse the next time we are there, we were all just really polite and didnt give her much of a response. She seems like a really nasty piece of work, and seems to only be there to heckle the bands to make herself feel some sort of power i think. The trouble is she has cancer, and I think she is using it to her advantage in that she seems like the type of person that would play the[i] 'You cant say that, I have cancer card' [/i]if anyone were to give her some banter back. Regardless of that, the gig went well with a promise of a rebooking. I suffered a cramp in my index finger on the last song which meant it was rendered useless so I had to change my fingering which was really interesting! I think I got away with it...

steantval Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 [quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1434749793' post='2802614'] Hi Guys, We've just booked a gig for next week due to a cancellation but been warned by the band that cancelled that there is always one lady that goes every week and likes to heckle the bands. Personally I have never had anyone heckle me in any band I've been in, so I'm a little unsure how to deal with it! Apparently her favourite line is "Get on with it!" in between songs. Any advice on how to cleverly deal with a heckler? Thanks [/quote] Tell her to f*ck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would that be bad taste, overly harsh and just plain out of order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Stop playing, point her out to the crowd and ask her to come on stage and show her ability and talent. [i]"Come on up, you can sing, play guitar, bass, or drums. Everyone, clap her on and up on stage!"[/i] I guarantee, the heckling will stop.
