Just cause you're packin', packin', whoop, down south
That don't mean I'm ever gonna take it laying down, baby
Oh I'm a machine when I do it
I'll be catching fire, gasoline when I do it
Just cause you're packin', packin', whoop, down south
That don't mean I'm ever gonna take it laying down

Baby, you're the man
etc..

How the fuck is that suitable for young children? 

I was in Smyths (the toy store) the other day and the song being played was about ripping off a bitches bra and basically raping her...  or something like that..

This is popular music. Woo. 

Wis. I have no idea how the selling of sex to such young minds has basically (seemingly) become normal. I mentioned this to a colleague a while back and they looked at me as if I was mental.

I misread the the title as 'singing at a Little Mix concert'. I immediatley knew something was a bit fishy.

There’s signers at most festivals, you are all acting like it’s the first time this has ever happened. She can feel the music and the atmosphere, and wants to experience the same as her daughter. That includes knowing what they say as well as sing

On the plus side, it's pretty easy for the translation service ....

I didn’t sign up for this when I trained as an interpreter....

It's certainly no 'Agadoo' that's for sure.

All that said, I see @crunchman's point- it's one thing for an arena show that will generate a tidy profit to do this, but quite another for a covers band in a pub, playing for beer money. Or would it be the landlord's job to provide the interpreter?

Interpreter [signing furiously]: 
HE'S DOING THE GUITAR SOLO....
THE ONLY ONE HE KNOWS....
CAPTAIN PENTATONIC...
1ST POSITION....
OOOH, NASTY BUM NOTE.... well at least it was different....
OH AS IF A FUZZ BOX AND ECHO'S GONNA HELP...
etc.

I think if they had to provide an interpreter then it should've been for the whole event which was paid for.

(The last gig I went to, the support acts were good, Cats In Space, and Europe!)

I agree that it was a poor oversight but to sue over it, really?!

Well, she had to take court action to get them to meet their obligations and provide a signer at all.

And then they only did it for one of the acts, rather than all 3.

I suspect the amount is not going to be huge.

Nothing wrong with little mix singing about that, I take exception to my nan singing Im Horny, Horny Horny Horny while shes  putting my grandads long johns through the Mangle!. Disgusting .

I thought this thread was gonna be about Little Mix getting busted for miming or something. 

Guitar_Slinger

She's also going to sue the signer for getting it wrong.

For the web the blind can utilise screen readers rather than have every website publish a recorded voiced version. Either print out their lyrics or learn to lip read. This is a Little Mix Concert not an important public information broadcast.

Does the Solicitor have an interpreter to hand? Does he have all his leaflets available in Hindi, Arabic,  . . . .

Singing at a Little Mix concert would be a first...

Couldn't the promoter have just handed out a lyrics sheet? Chances are LittleMix were reading from a scrolling screen. Plopping one of those near the Lady in question would have helped, especially as it would be in real time.
If the lady taking court action was a fan she'd have known all the lyrics anyway, I'm calling her a fake fan.
All kidding aside, special provision was made and whether or not it was gold plated doesn't seem to be considerred. I think the point about making the industry more aware is a good one, does the old guarantee about limited to face value of the ticket/cost of the item work here?

So the only thing that will help is money?

Follow her logic and you have galleries for the blind. The point of seeing a music group when you are deaf is about zero.

Some art galleries do information in braille, pre-recorded audio tours, etc.  It's not like we have to cut people with a disability out of everything.
