点评:I attended the Northen Soul night 28/3/26 with my family. The band and singers were absolutely amazing. However, the experience was not! The minute the band started, people started going back and forth to the bar, walking almost on top of the singers, messing around on route. As the night went on and more alcohol consumed the worse it got! I have no objections to people having a drink and enjoying themselves but they spoilt it for other people. I paid to see a band and listen to music I love not to see a load of drunks "dancing" and messing around! It was embarrasing to see! They had drinks in their hands ( including glass bottles) spilling it all over the floor and other people, falling on people in the front rows. Even in our seats intoxicated people were stood up spilling their drinks on us and falling on us.
The staff in the hall tried telling people to move back (some speakers nearly got knocked over) but they took no notice of them.
I think the Civic should re-think the opening times for the bar and only open at the interval and stop allowing drinks to be taken into the hall.
We all paid to see and hear a band not to watch a load of inconsiderate drunks!
I will think again before booking at the Civic.
翻译:2026年3月28日,我和家人一起参加了北方灵魂乐之夜。乐队和歌手的表演绝对精彩绝伦。然而,现场体验却令人失望!乐队一开场,人们就开始在酒吧和演出场地之间来回走动,几乎踩到了歌手的身上,一路嬉闹。随着夜色渐深,酒喝得越多,情况就越糟糕!我并不反对人们喝酒玩乐,但他们的行为破坏了其他人的体验。我花钱来看乐队演出,听我喜欢的音乐,而不是看一群醉汉“跳舞”和胡闹!这场景实在令人尴尬!他们手里拿着酒杯(包括玻璃瓶),把酒洒得到处都是,甚至洒到前排观众身上。即使在我们座位上,也有醉汉站起来,把酒洒在我们身上,或者摔倒在我们身上。
大厅的工作人员试图劝阻人们后退(有些音响差点被撞倒),但他们置若罔闻。
我认为市政厅应该重新考虑酒吧的营业时间,只在演出中场休息时开放,并且禁止将酒水带入大厅。
我们花钱来看乐队演出,不是为了看一群没素质的醉汉!
以后订市政厅的票我得好好考虑一下了。
