Thread Name: Another open mic question.
Subject: RE: Another open mic question.
I have been both ends of this situation re having been asked to do a bit more and letting my turn go by for someone who has travelled further etc there has to be give and take.
Sounds like the MC was incredibly rude and ignorant or maybe a bit high with the success of the evening and presumed a closer relationship with you than existed in your mind.
Put it down to experience and ask whoever you want re playing it seems that the way to get some playing time in is to be a shameless whore re music.
Our local folk club MC has a wonderful line in sotte voce utterings
IE "oh its not traditional then?"
There are not really enough floor singers to need an MC now.
But as I said be a whore.
