LeDemonBlond Posted March 23, 2018 #3477 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm rather pleased they will have a dedicated dance floor for country music. While I love a good 80's dance party, I also like to two step with my sweetie. Not mentioned much but looking forward to the Cavern as well.

MrsK623 Posted March 23, 2018 #3478 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have to disagree with you that country music fans are from a small section of the United States...I have friends in almost every state (and Europe) who love country music and there are many country music stars that sell out huge venues on a regular basis. That being said I am not a fan so you will find me in the Silent Disco (I just love that concept and can't wait to see it). :) I have to agree as my husband and I just spent the weekend at C2C (for those not in the know it is an annual country music event held in London, Dublin & Glasgow). We look forward to it every year and know many others with an appreciation for country Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look forward to it every year and know many others with an appreciation for country Sent from my iPhone using Forums Country music is very much like Marmite... some folks love it, many just detest it... I’ll probably give the ‘Yee-Ha’ a look but if the ship was to be dominated by that genre it would put me totally off re-booking... The Jade TA last year had a perverse leaning towards that genre given the guest mix, the Blazing Boots show was just horrendous given nobody hardly knew any of the music.. The Cavern Club will be the retreat for those of us that like ‘proper’ music as the Siglo covers band will hopefully provide ample AC/DC, GunsNRoses, Deep Purple, Stones, Zepplin, Pink Floyd, etc... Hopefully that over-rated Liverpool band sessions can be kept to the early evening to accommodate the ‘old folks’ who’ll need to get to bed [emoji6]... Howl at the Moon is a concern but maybe NCL are moving away from it? It used to be really good but was just awful on the Getaway TA, maybe the expansion of cruising has meant there just aren’t enough proficient artists willing to spend months at sea.. Silent Disco is something we’ve done a few times, you can’t pick your own music as suggested but you can pick one of TWO songs which the DJ selects. On RCCL the useless DJ always played two songs that were remarkably similar, e.g. 2 Michael Jackson songs, etc. totally defeating the ethos of a silent disco... At music festivals we’ve been to you get a proper crazy atmosphere in the silent disco as the two pairings might be Earth Wind & Fire or Iron Maiden; or perhaps a rap song paired up with ABBA... Those sessions can get a little crazy and great fun (especially if you’ve had a couple of drinks)... Personally I’m very happy with the Jersey Boys show as that music is upbeat and pretty timeless... Has to be the best themed musical show NCL have introduced so far in terms of suiting all age groups... I’m still hoping the Bliss have found a slot for some guest artists (the Barricade Boys for example) for the Inaugural TA as they always give a show that impresses... Anyway less than a month to wait now... Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs C Posted March 23, 2018 #3481 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Wow they're really doubling down on the country western theme. That seems strange for a ship like this. I can't imagine much of their clientele will be into that kind of music. Most country music fans are from a very small section of the United States. This ship will have people on it from all over the world. :confused: Us Canadians sure like country music too!

[emoji1] Glad you liked it; we were ‘hemmed in’ and couldn’t easily escape the theatre, it was purgatory... There was an American girl near us that seemed to know the songs, we go the 20-30 gigs a year, but didn’t know (or like) a damned one.. To be fair country music rarely figures on our festival schedule although one has an Outlaw Country Stage which can be really rocky but not sure you’d call it “Yee-ha”, or even country....
