....walked out of a gig you paid good money for?

Last night I went to see every middle-class thirtysomethings favouritete dinner party background music band, Zero 7 at the Town Hall.

Now as embarrassed as I should be to go and see this band, I loved their first two albums, and expected to hear the hits sung and performed by the session singers who sang the songs originally, loike.

After an hour of new material that is nothing like the first couple of albums, people were getting restless. But, it's alright, they will play some of the older tracks and introduce the old singers Sia and Sophie onto stage surely?

Sadly not, and by now the Town Hall was half empty.

Three quarters of the way through a twenty minute chin stroking avant-garde jazz spectacular, the coat was well and truly on.

I'll stick to rock music in the future.

I walked out of Quadrophenia the musical, at the Hippodrome earlier this year. I said to the wife during the interval 'either there's a lot of people going out for a fag break or we're going to have a few empty seats around us in the second half of the show'. Less than 10 minutes after the inerval we were in the Old Fox.

It was like Strictly Come Modding.

We walked out of a comedy show in New York.

It was $20 to get in and you had to buy 2 drinks when you were in.
We ordered one and they took about 20 minutes bringing it to us which was useful because it gave us time to realise Scooby would have been better than the comedians so we did one.

I walked out of a Van Morrison concert at the Birmingham odeon in the late 70's. I was absolutely shit-faced on some very good Morroccan and I was downwind of the Kentucky fried chicken with the worst case of the munchies I've ever had.

I've also (with Telfy) walked out of a comedy club, but not before bombarding the comedian with some top class heckling on the way out.
