Craziest take on this I ever saw was when a friend (seriously good
jazz/salsa pianist) did a gig with a quartet in a South London pub - jazz,
accoustic, standards, ergo not loud. The landlady was determined not to miss
her favourite soap on ITV, so watched the entire thing on a TV just below
the bar, with the volume up quite high, while the band played. She was
paying the band, BTW ,and the pub looked like it could do with some (some? a
lot!) extra business from the jazz fans.
