I have played in a venue where the electricity was supplied by a generator driven by a tractor as the mains power hadn’t reached the area yet. Well into the night down went the electricity and a voice called out “didn’t you fill the bloody thing up like I told yer”. A reply of “sorry dad”.

I can also recall our band sitting on tables with acoustic instruments during a blackout.

When I first started we used sing into Crystal mics plugged into a guitar amp. When we got a PA and diaphragm mics we thought we were made.

Yep times have changed.

I know what you mean re" PA's vs Amps. LOL, back in the days even the horn players would carry his own small amp to the gigs, PA,s and God forbid a mixing board were never heard of. I have more technology for a single act as we did for six pieces including 2-3 horns.

Later,
