Monday Check-In
Firstly, a quick heads up for everyone who's joined recently. This community is here for you to chat, ask questions and help each other at any time.
I'm generally gigging Thursday through Sunday, so I'll naturally be a little less active in here over those days. Monday is when I emerge from the wreckage and catch up. 😂
Which brings me nicely to this weekend...
Has anyone ever been playing a gig and had the venue turn the SPORT on through the actual PA while you were still performing?
Not just TVs on around the room. I mean the commentary coming through the venue's sound system WHILE you're playing.
That happened to me this weekend.
I posted a Short about it and it got a lot of comments. Most people understood why I was pissed off, but a few suggested I should take it down because it wasn't my usual humorous take on gigging.
I'm leaving it up.
I love finding the funny side of this business, and most of the time I will. But I also want to keep things real. Sometimes something happens at a gig that's genuinely disrespectful to the performer, and humour isn't necessarily the right response.
So I'm curious...
Has anyone else had the venue PA competing with them WHILE they were actually playing?
And what did you do?
