Excellent!!! People can be rude as hell with cell phones. Good for those musicians. The dude was an idiot. Anything that was that important he could have left and took it outside.
hey where did the rest of my post go? anyway, i said he deserved to be embarrassed and plus how could he even hear the person he was on the phone with?? what a knucklehead!!!
that was real clever, a great move just how thay all acted on it. maybe ppl can learn a littel if thay are challenged in a not so threatening manner. he will probably not thoe. ppl who do that are pretty self absorbed , to bad .
Oh yeah, perfect! Folks have to realize that classical musicians have a sense of humor. BTY I'm with hossrex 'cause I wonder why everyone has to be so tied to their cell. I've had to learn not to respond to someone having a publicly "private" conversation lol.
that wasnt a concert. those were street performers. read alot of you saying take it outside looks like he is outside. Get over it its almost 2008 cell phones are a way of life now. I am just pissed cause the flying cars we were told we going to have when I was a kid arnt here Oh yeah and jet packs
Calm down people, he's in covent garden, not at a concert. No more offensive than being on the phone anywhere else where there happens to be a street performance nearby, those guys play down there from time to time and it's all just fun and games.
Rude people should be dealt with head on (courteously) and should not be allowed to get away with their rudeness. But in this case, the cel phone user was not the one being rude.
The orchestra was not playing in a concert. If anything, they seemed to be street performers with a tip jar and everything. Imagine street performers swarming around you and humiliating you in public for deciding to ignore them.
If anything this video proves that rude people come in all shapes and sizes, including classical musicians who beg on the streets.
Its a public space and he had every right to talk on the phone. If some musician came up to me and did that shit I would have taken their instrument and bust it up.
It might be a public space, but it was obviously set up as a stage, with a seated section for audience members. The idiot with the phone was in that section, so should have had some consideration for those around him, regardless. But idiots do what idiots will and if embarrassment is the only thing that stops them then these musicians did what needed to be done! The fact the rest of the audience applauded should tell you something about how they felt... !
"Obviously set up as a stage, with a seated section for audience members"?? It's the outdoor seating for the pub downstairs in covent garden! Hence the drinks on the tables and constant background noise from the market. Again, they just do that to people as a joke, it's part of the performance. Anyone that gets aggravated over this obviously has never been to covent garden and has no idea what they're talking about.
sigtm has it right. Covent Garden Market in London. We just returned from a six month stint in London, and went to Covent Garden almost every Sunday. These performers sign up to play in the morning and are given 30 minutes to work for tips, and the people seated are at a restaurant. It's just like being seated at any restaraunt, and we've used our phones at nearly the same table. It's not like everyone paid money for a ticket. Before you people criticise the talker, I would bet that the performers earned an extra 20 or thirty pounds for pulling that stunt. The classical musicians know how to lighten up the crowd with comedic acts not normally associated with the genre, and hence earn more money!!
