On 7th June my band is playing at an open farm event, where a local farm is opening up for visitors and having attractions and entertainment. It's an afternoon gig.
The guy organising it has described the setting in which we'll be playing. It's an 80ft shed with a 40ft trailer as the stage. There will be straw bales for the audience to sit on, and a space for dancing if they get... relaxed enough!
I am so looking forward to this. It could be hilarious. As it's a rural kind of thing we are thinking about emphasising the mock-hillbilly vibe that is part of the band's persona. Make sure we do a few tongue in cheek things appropriate to the setting. Certainly "Duelling Banjos", and maybe The Worzels "I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester". The latter is a reference likely to be meaningless to everyone except UK UUers over 30 years of age.
Would anyone care to share a tale of their most fun gig to date?
