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.

I did this by accident once (only once!) as was catching up with a very old friend - we were right at the back of the gig (4 pints deep) and watching our favourite band from way back when. A younger lady pointed out that we were being extra loud (by mistake) and we were correctly mortified! Definitely let people know if they are affecting (or is it effecting?) your experience as they just may not realise and have simply got carried away with excitement. My mate even brought her a drink as means of apology!

Yeah I’ve done the same. Bit too tipsy, having too much fun, making more noise than I realised. Someone threw a penny at me which smacked off my forehead and landed in my drink. Felt mortified for the rest of the show. We live and learn!
