Park Farm house ,Castle Donnington
The dreaded sound inhibitors struck again argghhhhhhhhhhhhh.
This venue was absolutely perfect for live music , great stage , great lighting , acoustic to die for , just too good to be true and guess what ?It was !
Above the stage was a sound inhibitor which cut all power when a peak level was reached . This happened 3 times in the first set when Paul played high notes on his guitar.
Completely spoiled the gig . I felt so sorry for the couple. I had to run to the bar in the other room to reset it. After 2 -3 times I was getting pretty stressed.We turned everything down to acoustic level and Paul had to virtually stop playing whilst Martin was singing.
What perplexed me was this - the venue is in the path of East Midlands Airport main runway and next to the race track where they hold Download every year, yet a wedding band using their smallest 500 watt rig playing at accoustic volume is too loud , Hmmmmmmm ?
Good luck to Olly and Vicky who were lovely and we wish them all the very best.
