Working a LIVE PA

[Little_Fella!]

Paul Cortex went to a gig and had to set up on a rickety stand, a chair and an up-ended box which provided just enough room but still having to balance the mixer on to his sound card... proper Krypton factor!!

Well, Pauls from the same roots innit, he`s the same, set up on a toilet seat if need be.
But we just get on with it right?
It`s hard to get all Diva when you come from our background, but sometimes we should probably kick up a stink ey?

To be fare, the promoter didn't know what Paul was bringing and they are nice people...

I will say as well that in the past I have been to a random party and some guy is on the rosta purporting to be 'Live' and he has just brought along his laptop and seemingly pressed 'space' bar all night...

I think that promoters should be made aware of requirements n then if they havn't bothered to help you then.... depends on the level of incompetence or whether you can tell that they are just plain RUDE!!!!

hehe, you told me about that.
yeah, they seemed like a good bunch though, but they weren`t exactly long in the tooth promoters though, they were a pretty fresh bunch doing a new thing, so you don`t expect the world in that situation.

I`ve seen a few PA`s myself of the "just press play variety", or so called live PA`s just being a 2 track DJ mix of fully made tracks in ableton.
Shocking.

Live should be live.

Loud music, comfort of home, decent wedge, can`t beat it.
