Thread Name: Session on Stage?
Subject: Session on Stage?
I'd be interested in views/ideas/experiences.
I play in a session that is very entertaining for those listening (according to the listeners themselves, and there are usually a lot of them); it's musically tight, with lots of spontaneous wit and banter, not too many 'insider' jokes, good stories and some real 'characters'. It's occasionally bawdy, the language is 'robust' and the atmosphere is intelligent, inclusive and good-humoured.

We've been toying with the idea of re-creating the session on stage, with a set that looks like the pub, some ambient mikes and an audience, perhaps as a 'late night' entertainment at clubs and festivals. Has anyone tried this, or heard/seen it done? Do you think it's feasible?
Hope the 'cat can help.
