THE WORST THING EVER


Recommended Posts

What is the worst thing that has happened at your gig?

 

Once I was DJ'ing at a Village hall doing a 16th Birthday party and the local "Nutter" decided to come running in the village hall with a chain saw and chase people around. I ended up chasing him out with a speaker stand!! We then locked all the doors while my roadie called the police. But he decided to try and come through the fire door with his saw! Lucky the police turned up before he got through. Ruined the night

 

I tell you that was one scarey night!!! http://www.chrispointon.f2s.com/Forum/html/emoticons/1092.gif

I was doing a private gig in Brighton on the night of the Chris Eubank vs Dan Sherry fight.

 

Well, all I can say is the broken glass from the 'riot' outside the venue was everywhere - inside!!!

 

Bricks and anything to hand was thrown in through the windows. Myself, the gear and floor was covered and so were the guests - in claret.

 

Horrible.

Last year - a wedding.

First off, the groom said "No eighties music!!". Kinda cramps yer style a bit. Then he gives me a list of "suggested titles", which consisted mainly of rock bands.

Each time I played summat to get the women up dancing, he would come over and glare at me and tell me to "play some decent music" - then pick summat off the list.

The Bride & Groom left around 11.15 and I launched into the party stuff. There were enough guests left to lift the atmosphere and we were really swinging when, at about 11:35, the house fuses blew.

No lights, no power, no nothing - just pandemonium.

None of the staff knew where the fuses were located. It took them until 11.50 to find the fuses in a cupboard in the kitchen.

When the lights came back on there were about a dozen people left in the room, milling around aimlessly waiting for lifts or Taxis.

What a bum night that was!!

-------------------

I have a great tale of come-uppance, but it was before I was a DJ, but was in a Function Band.

I might tell ya one day - it still brings a big grin to my gob http://www.chrispointon.f2s.com/Forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

OK http://www.chrispointon.f2s.com/Forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

I was one third of a Function Trio doing Hotels, marquees, restaurants etc.

We got this booking for a "Hunt Ball" in Shrewsbury.

There was a disco (poor sod) who played from 7pm, filled in when we were off, and was booked through till 7.00am.

Our spots were 11.30pm to 1.00am and 2.00am to 3.00am.

We were taking care of the "ballroom dance" stuff; Waltz, Fox, Quickstep, Tango... you get the picture.

Just before 1.00am a young pratt in Scottish dress asked us to play an eightsome reel. Well, sad to say we didn`t know one. He launched into a tirade of abuse, calling us street buskers and some other names not fit to put up here http://www.chrispointon.f2s.com/Forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

When he wandered off we did a couple more numbers then announced the "Break For Breakfast". ( A throw back to the days when they really did party till breakfast, then carry on through the next day).

Next thing the kitchen staff wheeled out these massive electric ranges full of bacon, egg, sausage, blackpuddin` etc... and everyone got stuck in.

During the break the Master of the Hounds came over to say how splendidly we played, and everyone was enjoying it etc etc, and had we eaten yet?

I said no, we hadn`t eaten and also mentioned that not everyone was enamoured of our reportoire, and pointed out the young man who`d given us a hard time.

At this the Master said;"What, him?? bloody jumped up pratt. Damn Nouveau-Riche, doesnt know how to conduct himself.... wait here."

He then dragged the guy over to us by his sporran saying "Nigel, these lads haven`t eaten yet - it`s your job to serve them. Anything they want, you get it. And don`t move away until they`ve eaten their fill. Then you can take their plates away......... enjoy your breakfast lads". And with a wink he left us in Nigel`s capable, shaking hands.

I don`t think I`ve ever seen anyone`s face go so purple http://www.chrispointon.f2s.com/Forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Love it.

 

Sounds like the old Officers mess functions, they were a jolly wheeze.

And why was it the only person to give you stick with one hand and your best friend with the other was the RSM
