Subject: RE: Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011
Without trying to sound to picky can someone tell me the names of the awful MC's. The lady I believe was Sue? The main objection was the man kept waffling with his back to the audiance & when the artist finished he walked on so quick he was recieving the applause not the artist.
I learnt to MC by Davy Jones & have yet to find anyone who can match him. He ALWAYS starts on time - if your late/not sound checked the audiance is let in & the gig starts- he introduces the artist with a short welcome, he waits a few seconds once the artist has finished before reappearing on stage to announce either an oncore/break/next act. Gives you some idea how long a break will be & at the end of each session thanks sound/lighting as well as the artists.
