I think I might have a problem with doing gigs in unsuitable places.

The most inapprropriate one I ever did was a Christmas night out where the audience was, to put it in the most appropriate terms, "secretarial". They did not want to listen as they'd come out fot their Xmas meal and a good chat, and who could blame them -background music would have done fine!

The icing on the cake was that it was in a smoky cellar before the smoking ban and one of the clientele purned round and put out her cigarette in my tin I used for plectrums, capo thinking it was an ashtray.

You don't need too many experiences like that - the more you have to earn a living the more you might have to experience bad gigs.
