 A Typical Guest Concert Night at the Market Inn

Audience participation in chorus singing is essential

  • Upstairs from 7pm pay your admission and buy your raffle tickets
  • Find a seat (If you reserved seats there will be a reserved card with your name and number of seats on a table)
  • At 7.30 pm the MC will welcome you to the night’s entertainment, update you with any information and maybe sing a song
  • He will then invite local floorsingers to start the night off
  • After their essential contribution, the MC will invite the main guest(s) to play their first set
  • Amid the applause, the MC returns to announce the Intermission and Raffle. with time to get more drinks and raffle tickets
  • While the raffle winners are feeling delighted with their prizes the MC returns to invite more local floorsingers to start off the second half
  • The MC re-introduces the main guest(s) to play their second and final set
  • With rapturous applause, the evening draws to a close with hopefully just enough time for one more song from the guest(s)
  • The MC thanks everyone for their contribution, wishes all a safe journey home and has one final song “Take your glasses to the Bar”
  • Exit all with a broad smile
