My band is currently embarking on a period of playing away from our home circuit (circa 1.5 - 2 hours away). Nothing fancy, just pubs & clubs. Anyhow, we're playing to audiences that are largely belligerent & don't know us. The first such gig last week was a bit of a disaster in terms of audience numbers (maybe 10% of the expected numbers turned out), but that was due mostly to extremely bad weather. This Saturday, we're playing to a crowd that has a reputation for being especially difficult to please. Anyhow, any relevant experiences, tips, etc, either for general amusement or advise, greatly appreciated.
It's been 30 years since I struck out like this, so I'm sure the game has changed somewhat. I think festivals & rallies are fairly easy by comparison, as the audience is usually there to enjoy music.
