Arrgh! Don't remind me! I stopped doing St. Patrick's night's gigs quite a number of years ago.
The only time that the memories come in useful is when musos get together - as they do - and start sharing bad gig experiences.

Now, there's a good idea for a Mudcat thread - Bad Experiences at Gigs. However many decades that I continue to play gigs, I will never be able to top the story that Rod Stradling tells of an early Old Swan Band dance.
