Thread Name: Standards for accepting a gig
Subject: RE: Standards for accepting a gig
Roger in Baltimore, you are really picky!! My husband and his band turned up to a pub in Dublin to do a lunchtime gig they had been booked for, only to find the entire clientele glued to a huge 6X8 foot screen that completely obscured the whole of the stage! The attraction was an odd game similar to hockey, called shinty (yes, that is with an 'N'), so no-one even noticed when we left. We went across the road to the Brazen Head and had a good ole shindig, where the pub actually closed and opened three times, and we didn't notice!!

As for the disabled access thing, a local shop spent a fortune having one put in, grand opening came, and they discovered that the door opens outwards only......

And my church spent ages wangling room for a disabled access toilet, only to discover that the door to the hall wasn't going to be wide enough.... Luckily we discovered that before it was built, but we still ended up with a double sink and no drainer.....
