Pete Lee<\/p><\/div>\n

I know what you did last Friday: you went to the Black Horse pub on Earlham Road for March Madness. What\u2019s March Madness? It\u2019s not really that mad, it\u2019s actually just live music every Friday. This past Friday, my flatmates and I attended this \u2018live music\u2019 that we saw advertised in the Outline Magazine. What went wrong?<\/p>\n

To start with, there was no band. Instead, there was some guy\u2019s 40-something birthday party. Then, there was his drunk friend who happened to know how to play acoustic guitar. That was this past Friday\u2019s live music. After waiting for about an hour for the \u2018performance\u2019 to start, the birthday boy finally mounted \u2018the stage\u2019 to announce that his friends, Pete Lee, would be performing The La\u2019s<\/a> self titled album in its entirety. This wouldn\u2019t have been so bad, since the album is a classic by the band which formed in 1983. However, good ol\u2019 Pete sang too close to the microphone, blasting scratchy loud music across the otherwise calm atmosphere of the non-student pub. He also temporarily forgot how to play the most famous song, There She Goes<\/a>. After watching him struggle with the opening chords of this song a few times, he finally got it right. The crowd clapped, sang, and drank along with Pete, raising the general mood. Even my flatmates and I, save the one who doesn\u2019t sing along with other people\u2019s songs, were able to enjoy this song.<\/p>\n

Overall, I am sure that on other Fridays, when it is not a birthday gathering, the live music must be quite nice, since the Black Horse atmosphere suits an acoustic performance. It is littered with comfy chairs with a bookshelf (complete with old-looking books) lining one wall. Seems I just picked the wrong day to go!<\/p>\n
