I had the same problem about my bands playing in the sun when I set up a huge 100th anniversary of our train station in Suffolk that ended up not being as huge as I'd hoped. There were only small pockets of people listening to the music, and my bands were all playing for free, just getting lunch, and hoping for CD sales, etc. The stage was in the sun, and they suffered. I would do quite a few things differently if I had it to do over. But, as it was, I was proud of what I accomplished pretty much on my own, with little help, and no past experience in putting on an event. We had some of the best music in the world, all willing to play for no money, and the music just MADE the festive atmosphere!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-49934389209534080822013-09-03T11:21:53.895-04:002013-09-03T11:21:53.895-04:00Unfortunate!
