Jim Opfer -> Gigs (Sep. 3 2004 19:59:55)

Found out yesterday my wee group have two gigs this weekend, one's a 15min stint at a community concert on Saturday afternoon and my dancer wants to do Solea. Then the Russian Cafe for an hour on Sunday night, full show with a watered, feed and now quiet audience.
I guess it's the extreme contrast that makes it difficult. I don't mind things like the community gig but I have to say that the 'formal' performance is quite nervy especially here in Scotland where everyone just sits quiet and there's no response.
Worst thing is having to stick paper and glue on my nails, I hate it, ends up in my hair and in my eyes, yuck!

Good luck Jim and don't worry abou a quiet audience, better than one that heckles [:@]

We once recorded a live gig of Emilio's at teh Eshavira in Granada and on listening back you could hear a pin drop, it was hard to believe there was an audience there at all, and if there was they can't have been breathing.

Congratulations and good luck Jim. Hope you and your Wee group knock 'em dead.... er, out of their seats might be more politically correct.

Thanks Kate and Mentrida,

Saturday afternoon gig was good fun, out doors in the park, flamenco filling a 15min slot in amongst brake dance and some Bollywood stuff.
Sunday gig at the Russian Cafe was cancelled because of the school disaster. We only got the phone call 1 hour before we were ment to be there.

Cheers
Jim.
