So How Did The Rugby Outcome Affect Your Gig?

[Andy Westcott 0]

Made no difference to me once we'd lost.

Before that there were a fair few gathered around an imported TV which diverted attention away from the dancing a bit, but things are often a bit slow before the buffet anyhow.

 

After the game we had a brilliant party with no long faces despite there being several devout England supporters present, resplendent in our colours.

 

So - upshot is that it had no damping effect on my night;

How about the rest of you - how was your night affected, if at all?

Not the show. We were in an upstairs function room in a social club. Smokers going down looked in and relayed the score to us.

 

Our problem was outside. The venue is about 50yds away from a pub called Zulus, which is a hub for South Africans. The noise during the match was terrific and the victory celebrations spilled out onto the street, blocking the road and involving a number of police trying to move them.

 

Luckily, by the time we finished, they had managed to shift most of them.

 

But I'm glad I didn't fly the St George Cross on my car yesterday. :hide:

Not in the slightest. (or the match itself for that matter, I didn't start until the end)

Made no difference to me, Wasnt working tongue out icon

 

But a bloke who used to work for me, asked me to nip over and see him as he expected it all to kick off, as the landlord of the pub he was in was from south africa,

 

Nothing happened though.

I was doing a wedding, ( Agency booking)had to wait 1 hour for the food to clear before they could transform the room to a dancefloor, the whole lot retired to the bar , Rugby on, setting up with lights half finished the groom came in dragging his wife for the first dance and all the guests followed,IT WAS HALF TIME. I had to start the dance with half my lights rigged and then he wanted it faded to Swing low sweet charot half way through the dance, I pity the wife!

 

Once over they parted hard and was not a problem

Definate difference for me. I did a charity do on Saturday. I did the same do last year and last year had more attendants. When asked the organiser she said she sold more tickets than people that turned up.
