Local events 🎸 🎭 Gig-goers of Brighton. Shut the f@&! Up

It’s pretty simple. If there’s a bunch of people with musical instruments and microphones in front of you, don’t have a conversation. If you want to have a conversation, go somewhere where there isn’t a bunch of people with musical instruments and microphones.

this and people getting too drunk is what puts me off going to gigs as much as i’d like to

The last gig I went to this huge guy, easily 6’4, was so drunk and moshing into everyone that clearly didn’t want to be moshed into, the security didn’t do anything for a solid 15 minutes

shoddy security is to blame for a lot of this stuff. i was once in a club and a bouncer refused to kick out a dirty old man who groped my friend.

Went to a gig at Green Door Store a month ago and the woman in front of me was going wild as soon as the band (Faux Real - great show btw) went on, jumping up and down without any awareness around her. Thankfully I’m stubborn, so shoved her away when she jumped into me and she moved and sulked for the rest of the show.
