As someone who attended the sold-out Midlake gig last week, I was very interested to read Duncan Hall’s review (The Argus, March 3).
It should have been an uplifting evening, enjoying music from a brilliant band (pictured), who have been through some line-up changes but have still produced an excellent new album.
I was thoroughly enjoying the show until a selfish and arrogant man decided that the gig was not what he had expected and he decided to tell the band so between songs. As your reviewer stated, the band dealt with this heckling politely and with restraint but the whole mood of the show changed at that point.
What on earth made this man think that his opinion was so important he had the right to ruin the show for everyone else?
Thankfully, despite seeming understandably unsettled by what happened, Midlake carried on in a professional way and the rest of us enjoyed the songs, old and new, that they played.
I do hope they remember that the majority of people in Brighton love them and that they won’t judge us by that one person.
