Hi there, I did my first holiday park gig last night for New Years Eve, found it to be quite similar to a club gig except tons of children racing around pand less people up and dancing... we didn’t go down as well as usual and ended up with a few nasty Facebook comments which has got me worried that the booking agent might not be best pleased.
Just wondering what kind of thing these places expect? We do a bit of dressing up and try and put on a show, no backing tracks, decent 4 part harmony vocals etc but perhaps they want more of a full on tribute act experience? Or maybe they just wish it could be the chuckle brothers every night?

I wouldn't take it as a reflection on your band, in these sorts of places you're pretty much background music to parents letting their kids run themselves tired while they get tanked up.
We do a mixture of stuff from the lighter Brown Eyed Girl malarkey through to Floyd and Zep/Lizzy/Jovi etc.
We tend to tame it a little 1st half with the lighter stuff and then rock up the 2nd half.
it's loads of fun... really nice event..
