Did a mod/60's gig last month.
The punters treated it like a northern gig despite ska/rnb/British beat getting played.
A bird questioned my playing of Zoot Moneys Big Time Operator at a "northern" do. I informed her that some northern would be played but it was not solely that kind of gig.
She just looked at me blankly as if I was a dick.
Two records into my spot, a fella brings a request list, a pre-emptive list of DILYIID and northern oldies.
I didn't have any of them and apologised.
He deftly replied "if I had known i could have brought you in a cd"
The events early doors knocked me but the rest of the crowd were so welcoming to me that the 1-2% were forgotten about.
Even the bad times are good fella, take a rest ;)
