Surprise, surprise. I'm in the Ian, Chas, Diki corner when it comes to the subject of mp3's.
But that's simply a function of my orientation and approach to music performance, and not meant to knock another approach.
It's just not my style. And if a national act...ANY national act, came on my bandstand and wanted to use mp3's or even wanted to call the tunes,other than to suggest material, I'd ask them to leave. Obviously, that approach wouldn't be appropriate for anyone else and I'm not recommending it. Anyone who can hold their own on MY bandstand is welcome. But I call the shots, and a certain level of respect for the job is essential. If they can't cut it on my material, they don't need to be there.
So there!
