"I have been busy this week and only managed to learn the tune. So I have brought along with me the lyrics on paper. I am going to give you all one and whilst I play, would you mind singing it."

As ours is concert style, we now tell poeple to turn their mobiles off and refrain from talking whilst a song or tune is being performed.

Our MC has now got to talking about crisps before we start. She says "If you must eat crisps whilst the performance is on, can you please suck them in order to keep the noise down" or something like that.

It can be a bit awekward telling somebody to shut up in the middle of a concert. I did it once to a guy who was constantly talking and his voice was quite loud. I was across the other side of the room and waited for the song to finish and then shouted to the guy to please be quite during songs. He just looked at me. So I shouted it again. Again no response. He just looked at me. Suddenly his daughter said "Do you mean my dad". I assumed the bloke was her dad and said yes and was just about to say something more, and she said "Oh sorry, he's deaf, so he can't hear you".
