What exactly is a floor singer?? It's a term I'm unfamiliar with...As far as pre-gig routine, well, what ever works for ya mate!
When I'm going to see someone, I don't really expect to see them before the show... That's what break, and afterwards are for...
When I'm playing that kind of show, (as opposed to a pub gig) my training in the theatre kicks in, and I feel really weird if the audience sees me before the show... So I lay low... pace the stage if I can, or just chill in the green room...
