If it makes you feel better, I had to tell some people to shut the fuck up at a Better Lovers gig so I could listen to the band. Some venues are too quiet and some people need to have some self-awareness
Sadly brighton gigs, especially anything with a bit of hype round them eg that Better Lovers tour, really attract patrons who want to be seen at the gig but are not actually that fussed about taking in the show.
