I was watching John Grant at Brixton Academy last year and was standing fairly near the back of the room with Mrs Wrongcog. He was absolutely killing it on stage and a phalanx of industry types mobbed out of the AAA area and stood right beside us and basically had a really noisy strategy powwow. They were banging on for ages, looking at a laptop, bleating about this and that - meanwhile Grant is deep into a confessional piano thing.
Eventually I just turned around and said "for christ's sake! He's absolutely pouring his heart out up there, you're supposed to be in the fucking business - have some respect! Take your agm to a pub or something".
To be fair they fucked straight off out of there post haste. But why is it the fucking insiders who always act like the biggest pricks at gigs?
People who literally stop anywhere and have a fucking meeting
In the toilet? Yup
Behind my chair? Yup
Right where you need to stand to get your coffee? Yup
In front of the fucking lift? Yup
Stairs? Yup
