People who throw parties, or plan events in the UK love to do so outside, even though our weather is erratic as hell. And while they show concern and forethought for their esteemed guests, not so much is shown for the people providing the entertainment.

So, while playing our hearts out, we are commonly doing so under a sweltering sun, in windy gusts, or poorly lit spaces. After experiencing this first hand enough times, you take measures to avoid such scenarios.

So, when I am booked for a gig, I enquire about the setting. If garden, deck, or any other reference is made, I recommend the rental of a large parasol and a table, for myself, and the rest of the players. Truly, these two things are necessary, and should be provided. But, usually they have been overlooked. So, then I point out the importance of such things, and I even offer to call the Funky Furniture Hire people to get a quote for the parasol and table hire items.
