After five people had gone on and I walked out, then at the end of the night I went back in and had a word with the DJ. I told him I didnt think I was treated very fairly, and that was that I went home and that was the end of the evening. When I went back in the following week and asked if he was taking orders to sing he told me he wasnt, but he wouldnt let me sing anyway. He then told me I was barred, but I was still allowed to drink in there. As I was leaving he shouted after me and told me I was barred from each karaoke night. Mr Carpenter then rang the other main karaoke venue in the town, The Bank Pub, to clarify his position, and when he tried to show up he was told that he wasnt even allowed in the venue. He was told this was because he had played the maraca, uninvited, during the interlude of a live performance. Mr Carpenter said Obviously this is a cardinal sin.
