Here's 2 memorable gigs

First one was a wedding where the meal was in progress when we arrived and they were "listening" to a string quartet. Not much talking naturally. When I went up to the best man to ask him what dance the bride and groom wanted to begin with it turned out he was profoundly deaf! ...as were the entire wedding party and guests. This was a real challenge not only because circle dances were definitely ruled out but also because there was no way to tell the punters when the next dance was going to start. Funny to look back on but 3 hours of hell !!!

Second was an upmarket wedding in London. All very posh. In the break we observed the bride sneaking off with the best man. We kept quiet and then Mummy asked us half an our later if we had seen the bride as they wanted to cut the cake. We kept quiet and then 5 minutes later a very blushing bride was dragged back into the room. It was announced that there would be no cake cutting and that the bride and groom were leaving !!!

Many more but those are 2 of the best
