the bear one was the one
one of them anyway

we aren't usually followed around by that guy fortunately.

the vocals were a bit rough because it was at the end of the set, but to be honest they usually are a bit anyway, he's never had any training or anything and tends to belt it out and over extend himself somewhat.

edit: fairly sure, as the place doesn't have a cloakroom, and we had a commanding view of what was going on
There's never quite enough of my guitar for my liking! From what we hear, the sound guy is about the best guy locally, albeit a bit of a dick, but he doesn't really like blues and stuff...

As high in the mix as he was
he could have calmed down a bit and would have sounded a lot better for it. But hey, end of the show, fair enough....

he doesn't seem to be able to correlate those things
the likelihood is that he was low in his monitor and upped his volume to compensate. It's not often we play somewhere with a decent setup and sound guy, so the experience isn't there.

we were remarking yesterday that he was been doing just what you say more recently, so maybe we need to tactfully point out to him that he has a microphone, so doesn't need to shout

Blues hollering is fair enough
but perhaps a quiet word might improve your listeners' experience.

Or up his monitor and have the vocal channel lowered on the desk, and just don't tell him...

it's weird
some of his vocal performances over the last week have been his best ever, and some have been totally shouted.

he's a loose cannon.

Ta. Going well there - should have booted that Bear, mind.
Saw a couple of the others. Like the harp too.
I'd be happy if you played any pub I was in.

yeah, the bear guy was random
in one of the other videos not yet uploaded he does get kicked across the floor
