raiden58237 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hey Showmasters I attended last year's comic con and it was great but I noticed that with all the people around especially on the Saturday, we could barely hear any music playing throughout the hall. I was wondering if there was any chance of getting one or two live bands to play somewhere in the hall? Obviously I might be the only person who is interested in this happening but it was just something I noticed last year and thought you might wanna know about it. It doesn't have to be a specific band or type of music but something that suits the event you know. Anyway just an idea and popping it out there. raiden58237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 You mean over the sound system? I don't think this is going to happen. There are announcements made over the speaker on occasion, and it's hard enough to understand those as it is. There has been a band on the cosplay stage once if I remember right plus there's the noise from the video game area too. We've had several attendees mentioning that that bit already was quite disruptive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpharris Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Can I add a Please No to this. I love music of all types but this is not the place for live bands. As QS mentioned it has been done before and it was horrible. Apart from the poor acoustics, it drowned out the talks and made it hard to converse with guests, some of the guests are not as young as they used to be and find it difficult enough to hear what you are saying to them in just the general hubbub let alone with music blaring out. Also of course, not everyone appreciates the same type of music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodiva Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) A definite NO from me too....I remember vividly hearing a mish mash of horrific "off sounding" rock music whilst queueing for a talk once ... if "Dracula" couldn't cut it then no one could!!.. Talking about screaming cats!!... No no no no for LFCC ....it's hard enough to hear the talks over the awful accoustics and crowd noises I'm afraid...

jael001 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Please no!!! It was so loud and unfortunately not able to be contained to the area it was taking place in, which made hearing anything else in the venue difficult. The noise levels even without it can make hearing the guests difficult as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted April 2, 2013 Showmasters Admin Share Posted April 2, 2013 I agree the extra noise would be a real issue, for both the talks and the general event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coles84 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I love music but i have to add to the No for this, would be to distracting and a nightmare when you are trying to meet up/find your friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yeah sometimes when it's busy at it was in Olympia last year I can barely hear myself think without the added noise of live music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkiefan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Dear God no, I remember when we did have a band playing and it was awful (not the music itself), but the band was playing with the talks going on and you couldn't hear anything and I think it clashed with one of the paid talks at one point which must of sucked for those who went to it. I wouldn't mind having someone doing autistic guitar in the foyer though, where it's a more enclosed space away from the main hall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantis_Buff Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 terrible idea but going by the response im sure this wont happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inga Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Would be cool as an after party kind of thing I think, but just not feasible in this situation with all the other noise going on. If there were lots of seperate rooms it would work but not in a massive hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The House Of Alsace Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It is hard enough to hear guests at the best of times. To have a LIVE band playing will make it virtually impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrond_peredhel Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'd have to agree with the majority here- live music would be cool but yes, not everyone likes the same stuff and the tannoy system is almost impossible to hear as it is! I think, personally, I can cope for a weekend just listening to the occasional cosplay masquerade music sessions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
