Pet Hates: People who talk during gigs
One of the happy highlanders is often on a short fuse now that he is well into his twilight years. Recently, he bit the bullet & attended a Triptych event in Aberdeen i.e. King Creosote, Akron Family, Adem etc…..I suspect he knew that he was running a risk going to the Lemon Tree as it might have been full of youngsters.
However, despite him being his usual subtle self & making increasingly louder comments to his wife,(never fearing the size of the well-fed youth), this event was spoiled for him because of ignorant students who attend events & chat, only to state that they had been there!
I must admit this is one of my own pet hates. I don’t know why it happens now. It never used to occur. Too much money? People go to gigs for the background ambience?? Who knows?
This behaviour stopped me attending the Ferry in Glasgow. I have been told by Keith that the Orange Moor at the top of Byres Road is the same. Clare says that she went to the Arches recently to hear a really quiet singer songwriter & there they were again the chattering clinking classes.
If you are not there to see the artist please stay at home mate or go to a real pub!
