A Stage Monitor : Starving and Frightened.

Above is a picture of a stage monitor for those who aren't certain what such a thing is. It's purpose is to allow singers to hear how out of tune they are.

Why do you need to know this? Becuase tonight there's a benefit gig at Bar Vida to buy one (or rescue one or send one to Disneyland in a baseball cap or something). The line-up is Concertina Turner, St Kilda Mailboat, Ben Walker, Go Ha Ti, Lucy Day. Entry is by donation, but I think they're expecting at least £1. If you were really funny, like me, you'd go along and hand over some electrical wire or a piece of grillcloth.
