Subject: RE: Folk Proms
Oi Surrey..... It's Benjie Britten,(always wondered where John K got the idea for his sons name!) not Percy Grainger!!!!
An acoustic folk prom? Well, nice idea, I agree that good old Albert was built before the invention of Marshall stacks, and for large orchestras the sound can be awesome. For one bloke with an acoustic guitar, you'd have to stay very, very quiet....
It's a big place. In an ideal world, you are right of course. I just don't think that a gig like last sundays would have worked without PA. Bellowhead, acoustic? How would that work?!
I wasn't there sadly, but I hope the PA crew where sympathetic to the music....Can anyone who was enlighten me?
(Did hear a PA howl at one point on R3, but, it was quickly dealt with)
