A glorious live music venue in Norwich was nearly lost, and this is the killjoys' song

Artist picture
Semi-acoustic guitar, bass and vocal duo, 2000-2006, no longer together
Both with folk roots overlaid with classical training, both with many years’ rock-band experience but without having lost a passion for jazz and blues, and both still nuts about their playing without taking themselves too seriously, Rick Hayward and Heather Enid Wells were A Little Uneasy.

Story behind the song
For seven years on Christmas Day, A Little Uneasy played at St Andrew's Hall in Norwich for the 'homeless and lonely' at Norwich Open Christmas, where 400 guests dine, play bingo, get entertainment all day, and a gift, for free. However, at the behest of a rich couple living nearby, the imposition of a sound limiter so draconian that mere audience noise triggered it made any sort of amplification difficult to use. Sadly one of the couple died, the music now continues - quietly. And Norwich Open Christmas still welcomes many guests each year to enjoy the day together.
Lyrics
The killjoys who try to destroy live music usually go something like this: For goodness' sake turn the music down, I lie awake - turn the music down. What does it take? turn the music down! I can't hear myself think. Would you be so kind? turn the music down, If you wouldn't mind - turn the music down, Or I think you'll find (turn the music down) That I'll raise a big stink! I'm not looking to spoil your fun I like music, like anyone, But now I'm ready to get my gun - It's driving me to drink! I'm asking you, turn the music down. Won't you hear my view? turn the music down. I hope you do turn the music down, I can't hear myself think!"
