Sultan of silence

Even if you weren't there, you might have heard of the notorious outcome of Mark Sultan's (last ever?) Babylon performance: After about four songs he quit the stage, apparently because some of the crowd wouldn't stop talking. I thought things were going pretty well and his intersong banter was just poking playful fun, but no: 20 minutes into his set he unplugged and walked off. This caused some consternation and a lengthy thread on the punkottawa.com site, where enough has been said (including by Mark himself) that there's no cause to comment further. So, here's the photos ...

An impressive collection of musical firepower, but will it be enough to drown out Ottawa's nattering nabobs?!?



Hello, Ottawa.



Sultan sings!



Sultan croons!



Sultan shouts!



The blue moods of BBQ.



"I don't know why-y-y-y-y!!!!"



"I guess we could all talk about hockey ..."



The end.



I should have taken a photo of him packing up. Oh well. My bad.
