fiddler A 'no PA' festival (65* d) RE: A 'no PA' festival 28 Apr 08


That is it isn't it, A village Celidh in the past in a small hall or barn - sound carries that far and everyone knew the dances so teh caller had little to do.

Last year I provided PA for an outdoor performance - with a stage - the two morris teams decided they would a) not dance on the stage and B) not use the PA at all. The audience shrunk by 75% at least.

The teams said they really enjoyed it - sadly very few audience got the opportunity!

The clog dancers who used the stage kept the audiences attention and played to a pretty much full house.

BTW it was a free to the Public Event too so not even died in the wood folkies, And they watched and enjoyed English clog dancing and some other step dancing.

Everything has it's place.
