Patrick Wolf: Hecklers Jog On…
Tweet this!
Patrick Wolf has had some trouble with his “fans” at a recent gig, an event he’s described on his myspace blog. The singer was at the receiving end of abuse from someone in the audience who shouted at him to “get your cock out”. Granted he’s a pretty good looking bloke but a genital exposé clearly wasn’t part of the set list.
Patrick says “…if you want that kind of “rapport” from a musician then do leave me and my band in peace to get on with singing, performing and making music” which is fair enough ordinarily but from a man who “killed himself” onstage last year it’s a bit rich. I guess that’s the performance part of that quote explained. Hecklers are pricks who should be filtered out on the door.
The thing is there will always be someone there, a minority, that know nothing about the band or artists and they will heckle. Some people are closed to new experiences and the heckler at Patrick’s gig obviously wasn’t expecting his unique and flamboyant performance. He has a great stage presence and his style is all part of that. Narrow minded people have no place going to gigs.
Bachelor, the new Bandstocks.com funded album, is out in the UK on June 1st. As an investor in this album I can’t wait to hear what he did with my money. Ed.
