From: Liz the Squeak So you're at a rock gig and the lead guitarist plays a face-melting solo... he then hurls himself at the crowd and is 'surfed' around the audience.... What would be the folkie equivalent? A packed marquee, an achingly good penny whistle tune...... then what? LTS |

From: coldjam Prolly following it with some achingly-long heart-sick melody-challenged singer/songwriter epic, would be comparable to the vulnerability of hurling yourself into the audience.You will find out just how much they truly love you! |

From: McGrath of Harlow Try that at a folk concert and people would just get politely out of the way and you'd crash on to the ground. Maybe the nearest so far as trust goes is the thing rappers do, when they grab a punter and make them do a kind of somersault in their arms. Hard to describe, but it always goes down well. |

09 Jan 05 - 04:29 PM (#1375302) Subject: RE: BS: Crowd surfing - folk equivalent? From: CarolC For me, the equivalent of that would be when I am playing something in a way that inpires people nearby to start dancing. I'm not a natural performer, so when that happens (and it has happened for me only a few times), it's incredibly gratifying. |
