Sweet Charity’s on Fire!!!!!

Like yesterdays post this too came from chatting with Mark about previous shows.

It was actually less than a year ago that we were playing Sweet Charity. We were just starting to play The Rhythm Of Life when the fire alarm went off. Mark and I played for as long as the MD wagged thinking that the sound engineer had hit the wrong sound effect but in the end everything stopped and we had to evacuate.

We just got outside when three fire engines turned up and inspected the building. The cause was a discarded cigarette under a sensor.

After this we all went back in and carried on with the show which was soon brought to stop again as someone had arrived late and blocked the fire engines in the car park… clever.

We eventually carried on and finished the show at about 11 o’clock. Having said that the audience were the most responsive we’d heard all week and they loved the whole thing!!
