Thread Name: Your absolute BEST audience ever!
Subject: RE: Your absolute BEST audience ever!
My favourite and best actually happened about 7 hours ago!! I was down in London playing for chivas brothers with a band im in (about 15 young fiddlers aged 16-18). Because of fog, we were delayed at heathrow (we were goin to aberdeen) and so were many other hundreds of people. Everyone was bored so we decided to have a bit of a session in the middle of gate 5 departure lounge - we werent sure how it would go down - 15 scottish fiddlers plonking themselves on the floor and just playing. We finished a set and it broke into the hugest round of applause i have ever heard! it was just great! all around the room people were smiling and we were all happy coz we had made bored people happy, amused little kids for a while, played some great tunes and got about 40quid! We were on the plane, just about to land and we even got a mention over the tannoy! cool or what?! hehe!!
