Vocalist had the start of a cold, but said it wouldn't affect things. He spent an hour before our slot drinking Guinness and eating several bars of chocolate. What should he have indulged in, lozenges and Lemsip? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have respected him more if his voice had given out after a double bourbon and a piece of pizza. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Up this way it's quite common. You have one band (us) playing rock, pop, country type stuff and you have a traditional band playing ceilidh music. That way there's something for every one. We later morphed into a full band with an accordion player and we could cater for the whole evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that makes a lot of sense as anytime i've been at a wedding in Highlands everyone wants that traditional Scottish themed music to finish on. Was at mates wedding reception in the large hotel in Oban at the front overlooking the harbour. Was a great night. And have to say a very tasty breakfast in the morning. Out of curiosity why not learn some Ceilidh music just for that type of function and then you'll get paid twice. 😂 Dave Edited November 15, 2021 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 We call that a Barn Dance. It's a completely different setup. I've sat in on a couple and found the musicians have a completely different mind-set. Great for practicing root-5th bass playing. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Our drummer sent that clip to me last night. Why she couldn't just take a short break and go to the loo. Disgusting. Some poor cleaning staff are gonna have to clean that up. Not acceptable in my book. And what about the idiot that got up on stage. How sick is he.

Doctor J Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 To her credit, she has put a lot of the complaints in this thread into perspective. "Yeah, Dave might be a bit too loud and is a little out of tune, but at least he's not taking a leak on the bride's mother." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 It also underlines the point of this thread….. even though she did that without agreeing it with the rest of the band, they didn’t complain on stage… or even give her a funny look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One walked off apparently. But she complained to the audience a few times about needing a leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
