Thread Name: Performers Excess Drinking at Their Gig
Subject: RE: Performers Excess Drinking at Their Gig
Naemanson, UB Ed appears to me to be reffering back to the original post. I have read nothing in Bonnies post to suggest that indicates what sort of state the performers in question were in - all I know is that Bonnie sensed "a bit of a buzz" which could have been simply down to here seing them drinking and she doesn't seem to be sure whether it effected their performance - in fact, it appears that it didn't mucically to any discernable degree.

As for comments on nerves, it is a fact that some people suffer from them and they will play better using some drug when uner pressure. Although I am in trouble with alcohol, I would sooner a glass or two of beer than some of the alternatives such as beta blockers.
