PennyCan made requests feel a lot less awkward. People could just scan, request a song and leave a tip without interrupting the set. I ended up earning more from the night, and the crowd felt much more involved.

We already get song requests at most pub gigs, but PennyCan gives them some structure. We can see what people actually want, which songs are getting support, and still decide what fits the set.

The boosts are probably my favourite part. When a few people get behind the same song, you can feel the energy building before you even play it. It turns a normal request into a proper crowd moment.
