Thread Name: A Gig From Hell
Subject: RE: A Gig From Hell
My gig from hell was a wedding where things seemed unusually quiet and then we discovered that the entire crowd of guests were deaf and could only communicate through sign language. Luckily there was one hearing child aged about nine who I got running around tapping people in order to set up the dancing! I had such fun calling.... you had to be there to really appreciate 2 hours of circle dances that didn't involve anyone turning their back so everyone could see what was going on.

Now the really strange bit.... they had a disco to follow us..Hmm OK .....but a string quartet at the start of the evening????!!!! what was that all about!
