An early review, a reason to stay
Deb claps before the song is finished. The performer smiles and says she was hoping somebody liked it, then keeps playing. Deb stays for the whole song. At the actual ending she gets a small nod and applauds again, this time without an apology. The Short follows the exposed mistake through to the rest of an evening she nearly missed.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
The performer does not make Deb the punchline for the room. A small kind response lets the music continue. The full catch-up adds Deb's careful study of the guitar and her conversation with the performer afterwards. You can try a free chat with Rosie about an awkward moment of your own.

Deb: I clapped. The song hadn't finished.
Rosie: An early review.
Deb: She smiled. 'Thank you. I was hoping somebody liked it.' I'd wanted to disappear. She just carried on playing.
Rosie: And you stayed?
Deb: For the whole thing. This time I waited. At the end she gave me a little nod. I clapped properly. Both hands, no apologies.
