Live singer in neighbour’s garden

[Lunificent]

Feels like it’s in the house with us - a live vocal and guitar 20 feet away.. Who does that? Is it a thing?
AIBU to be really annoyed at how intrusive it is. I’d have been fine if they’d put a note through the door letting us know about it in advance.

It's the weekend and they have until 11 before they have to keep the noise down.

They should have absolutely let you know but I'd just suck it up personally. Are they any good? Take it as a free show if they are.

Pics or didn’t happen

I voted YABU but only because I'd love that! YANBU to not like it I guess

I Understand your perspectives and frustrations, but yea

I'd absolutely love that! Can't you pop over and join in ?

It’s not even 9pm and really what difference would it make if they put a note through your door earlier? It would be the exact same amount of noise.

People are allowed to live their lives and sometimes that means heading reasonable noise when you live close to other people. If it’s still going on in an hour or two it’s more of a problem but before 9 on a weekend you just have to get over it.

Only the one singer? I see you your lone singer and raise you my next door neighbour who has an entire band, and they rehearse in the back room with the bifold doors open which really bring the outside in and make a fucking racket. And they play shit covers and have to start each song about 5 times.

I presume it’s a one off rather than a regular occurrence. I’d just enjoy it as a one off. It’s early and it’s Saturday.

But with advance notice the OP could have made plans to go out & avoid it

Depends what they're singing really. If it's the entire back catalogue of Cheeky Girls hits then YANBU. If it's just a bit of easy listening then meh - it'll be over soon.

We have this occasionally. Not our direct neighbours, but over the road. It's bloody loud! Good, but very loud.

Celine Dion just rocked up at my neighbours and is belting out My Heart Will Go On. AIBU to tell her to shut it?

Our neighbours are having a party in their back garden but it isn't even 9pm on a Saturday. (They are great though and never have late parties so that might make a difference to how I feel)

He!s just finished his set. I think I prefer his 90s throwback busking to the party noise.

Although some further away neighbours have very loud afternoon/evening karaoke parties with the most bizarre choices of music: Oasis, Celine Dion, rap, boy band popstuff. Such an odd mix!

Laughed at this

I imagine it's like one of the American movies with the concert in the garden

We often had to listen to what I can only describe as Polands greatest power ballads during the summer. Quite entertaining really!

This is why I want to live in the depths of the countryside! I just need to win the lottery!

for me id need the lottery, but I'd consider a house in an industrial section,

Perspective.
Could be worse if there was a dead singer in the garden.

😂😂😂😂

It doesn’t help. We are a fair way from our neighbours but because we all feel like we don’t have neighbours nobody bothers about the party noise. We had loud nineties a few week ago until about 2am —quite enjoyed it though—

My niece plays the bagpipes.

Haha! I wish! I live rurally and sometimes the noise is ridiculous 😑
Cows giving birth , all night harvesting, owl babies having all night parties on the roof.
Cockerels.
Foxes mating would wake the dead, and badgers fighting sound like the woken dead of many centuries all trying to kill each other.

We went on holiday to the middle of a cornish town and it was so peaceful.
