we were booked into a legion hall some kind of indie movie fundraiser party. It was a great crowd. Were purely an instrumental band, fiddle (me) uillean pipes, guitar and percussion (djembe bodhran). It was a young crowd mostly people in their 20's and it was good to see the announcers corny plans of getting a singalong going completely fall apart. aside from a 2 or 3 keeners most were not interested in singing. The songs were not what I would choose (Im looking over a 4 leaf clover, Danny boy etc.) like something out of the Pig & WHistle. so we played dance tunes and a few people danced but it wasnt until after the break (Its hard to compete with James brown) that more people got into the room and for the rest of the night we were cookin' ANd when it was over they wanted more, we had to do at least 3 sets after the announcer told everyone to go home. So overall it was a great night. the only thing I could have used was a better monitor as the fellow who went to get the sound system didnt bother with a monitor and brought his own little pa which wasnt good enough. great craic though. petr
