The Lazy Lizard, Weymouth

Went to where "when the sun goes down, the volume goes up" last night to watch a band, however shortly into thier set, the barman started complaining to them that it was too loud. The band ammicably turned down on two or three seperate occasions, as requested, and even played a few more for a group of peope who had just arrived, but the barman still insisted they were too loud. The band, although clearly aggitated, said fair enough, pay us half our agreed fee and we'll leave, but they were told they wouldn't be paid! The landlord was called and he wouldn't even cover the fuel costs for the band getting there! It was an unjust episode to witness and I would strongly discourage any band to play there without an upfront fee. Also kinda puts a dampener on a night out when the band get sent home for playing music!
