Vic - that's an extraordinary story, like something by Magnus Mills.

I've only done one paid gig, as part of a pick-up ceilidh band for... a wedding. We were fine, but the acoustics were grim and the guests weren't in the mood for dancing. Or rather, they weren't in the mood for called dances - after our set finished (a little earlier than planned) A. N. Other Wedding DJ started up. The floor filled in seconds. Oh well, where's the bar?
