kidlewis Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The Martin Laursen Table: not only for his shambolic keyboard and singing skills and ruining some of my favourite love songs, but mostly for playing, and this is not a wind up, Dolly Parton Working 9-5, during his set... Of romantic love songs, on Valentines day...! WHAT THE ****? was he a mental? Pianists playing during meals shouldn't really sing, especially with a mic through speakers, not on valentines. Classical music, chilled piano, perhaps a little improvised jazz, even some of their own compositions would be nice. Something you haven't heard before that really fits the mood. I am no Mozart or Beethoven but can play a piano and would know if I was thrown in at the last minute not to play Dolly Parton 9 to 5. Your out on Valentines day and then someone reminds you of work, through music....that's just out of order lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did advertise live music, so I thought maybe a classic / spanish guitar... But no. And the keyboard player did not even have his keyboard set to piano sound, it was on the keyboard sound ALL evening. And for the first hour, hour and a half, the music and singing was so loud we could barely hear each other or hold a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that awful sound that sounds like a cross between every instrument ever invented? that's bad. All music is meant to do in a restaurant setting is to ensure there is no silence, it's not meant to be over bearing in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I did get really angry about it and it did consume a lot of the conversation because I could not stop talking about how annoyed I was. But then I got so drunk that I let it go.

Honestly I felt like Jeremy Beadle was going to rise from the grave and declare a practical joke. So if any AVFC Hospitality & Events representatives are reading, an invite back to Villa Park again with some proper live music that suits the ambience of the evening would be appreciated. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you lambast me I am a massive fan of Dre and just think I do a better job of this stuff than Mark Ruddy Ronson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Bloody hell Laura, you don't half moan, I bet your boyfriend enjoyed it simply because he was spending a romantic evening with you. The music probably didn't even cross his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
