Thread Name: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
Subject: RE: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
I was playing in an Irish band in a pub in Sydney with some mates of mine that I hadn't seen for a while. One of the blokes was singing the song The Nightingale and we launched into a full blooded multi harmony rendition of the chorus "..and they kissed so sweet and tenderly as the clung to each other" just as a fight broke out in the crowd. These two guys were clinging to each other and rolling around punching bejaysus out of each other. We kept playing and when the chorus rolled around again we all collapsed laughing, still playing. I was on the floor playing my fiddle and crying as was the guitarist. It was hysterical.
