This is a gig that starts badly and ends worse! We leave after 20 minutes! It’s not Halina Rice’s fault - the music was good, the custom light rig installed in the Trinity Centre was good. The crowd, though. We couldn’t stay. The remaining points will detail some of the crowd, to hopefully offer an explanation.
The middle aged gaggle stood near the front where one of them decided to mockingly dance throughout Cinjee’s opening ambient set.
The obvious students performatively doing some kind of interpretive dance in a wide radius at the front, who you hope were on drugs because god help their flatmates if it was just the vibes.
Everyone just talking throughout the opener and the main set, about holidays, new jobs, everything.
The people who couldn’t stop pushing past every 30 seconds to go to the bar during a literal one hour performance.
