The worst gig that I\u2019ve had so far in my career!!!<\/p>\n
I was on this one off gig with my friend Neil when I was 19.<\/p>\n
It started off in Birmingham where we were picked up by 2 guys we were to play the gig with (and who we\u2019d never met before). This is where it started to go wrong and in order to help show how bad this gig was I\u2019ve numbered the painful moments:<\/p>\n
1) We were driven to Peterborough with terrible music played at a ridiculous level brought to us courtesy of “DJ Storm”. (To get a full picture of this imagine the inside of a pounding boy racers car \u2013 this was where we were).<\/p>\n
Luckily for Neil, he had earplugs in his case. Unluckily for me I didn\u2019t.\u00a0So I had to wrap a jumper around my head!!<\/p>\n
And yes we did ask this idiot to turn it down repeatedly but as well as him being on his mobile phone, driving with one hand (on a sort of\u00a0 knob that bus’s and large vehicles use on his wheel) and his music we didn\u2019t want to give him any more distractions!!<\/p>\n
– Let me make this point now, I would never be in this situation ever again but that\u2019s because of the experience I have now and didn\u2019t have then. So if you read this and are then put in a similar situation; get out the car! –<\/p>\n
2) We went to Peterborough and played a half an hour set. Then we were told that the next set was in London! More driving with the maniac. Brilliant!!<\/p>\n
