Bluegrass Event. – Part 1 – Friday evening

This afternoon we travelled across to Largo where the city had put on a bluegrass event. The evening was a bit hit and miss, it was an outside event and rain constantly threatened, every few minutes it would start, then stop. We did not want to get Sally’s wheelchair wet, so we were going backwards and forwards trying to make sure we were dry. The music was provided by some local bands and were mixed in their quality. The other problem was that the sound mixing was very poor. By the time we got to the last act the audience were down to about 20. Half way through the act the accordionist decide that he was not loud enough and after complaining to the rest of the band, then the sound man, then the event manager, and probably the park keeper as well, he threw equipment off the stage and proceeded to pack up and go a away. This made for a big finish for the evening.
