Some friends of mine went to a pub which advertised live acousrtic music. What they actually found was: an elctric bass, two electro-acoustic guitars, two mics, a mixing desk and big speakers; the net result was uncomfortably loud. At what point does "using a p.a. system" turn into "becoming an electric band"?
?
OK, htat's a silly question: there isn't a point where it magically happens. But should acoustic only apply to completely unamplified sound, or (at a pinch) to modest use of a p.a. so the folks at the back can hear well enough?
