I think Chadders is taking the piss 
Firstly, I’d like to answer a little bit of criticism about one of my previous posts on top 10s. Basically, my mate Tim Hall decided to have a little pop at me about it being quite sad that I posted my top-10 software apps, which is rich really considering some of his posts have been about his top 30 lyrics from songs that noone (apart from 23 people in Crewe Limelight) have ever heard of!
Chadders, have you ever been to the Limemight and counted the size of the audience there? There will be more that 23 people there on December 19th.
So I will come up with an ever more silly list of amusing gig moments the past 12 months:
Best broken guitar string: That has to be Odin Dragonfly’s set at the Mostly Autumn convention in March. They played a cover of Jethro Tull’s “Witches Promise” as the encore. If you know the song, it starts with a spectacular flute solo as the intro. Immediately after Angie played that intro, Heather broke a guitar string striking the first chord. Gave Angie a chance to play that intro again, though.
Best on stage incident involving alchohol: We have a tie here. First Bryan Josh trying to drink beer and sing at the same time, and discovering that he couldn’t. And the song was a cover of “Fairytale in New York” on the line “It was midnight in the drunk tank”. Second comes from Breathing Space at The Roman Baths in York, where in mid set the band ordered drinks with the order being passed back through the crowd to Livvy’s mum who was standing at the bar. Try doing that at the MEN Arena!
Best spontanious action by the audience: The entire crowd at The Forum breaking out into “Happy Birthday To You” to celebrate the fifty-splodgth birthday of Marillion’s Ian Mosely.
Best Heckler: The guy at Crewe Limelight that asked Bryan Josh when his baby was due.
Yeah, ok. rumbled. Never been to Crewe Limelight, but it wasn’t the number of people in the crowd I was alluding to (that’d be at least 30!
), but the number of people who can guess the lyrics to all the songs you post.
That’s my excuse, and i’m sticking to it!
I know there was one gig at the Limelight where they’d sold 13 tickets in advance. But a lot more people turned up and paid on the door on the night; there were 80 or 90 there in the end.
See you there on the 19th
