BrunoBass Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 As a busy gigging band we do get some odd requests from clients sometimes. Not least this one, for a wedding (which we can’t do anyway). I’m not sure in which world asking a rock covers band to play without electricity isn’t a problem? 🤔 Anyone got any strange requests or expectations from clients to share; odd, naive or just plain bonkers? 1 Quote
casapete Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Great stuff. In my old band we often had strange requests. One wedding we had to sign on the contract that we would not at any time play any Tom Jones stuff. They wouldn't elaborate as to exactly why, maybe the bride had previously had a thing with Sir Tom? ( Of course it was maybe just because both bride and groom couldn't stand his music...) We usually wore quite, ahem....colourful stagewear. Had quite a few requests for us to please just wear black all evening. ( Can't say I disagreed with that one.) Quote

taunton-hobbit Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Back in the day I had a few 'odd' gigs in areas best described as 'between Abingdon and Drayton' I came to the conclusion that it was a sort of musical Bermuda Triangle.......... 😎 Quote
