Gigs drying up are they !!!! The future is and as always has been originals so it was only a matter of time, what with the backstreet pub dying on its a r s e and all that !!No, getting more work than ever, really! Business is picking up, after an admittedly hard couple of months, due to the awful cold weather and people not going out.
Had 4 bookings this last week, alone.
I don’t actually do “Back street pubs” because quite frankly, there aren’t many of them left. It’s more social-clubs or busier establishments.
The future is originals? Yeah, ok, whatever you say. What? Like all these bands who pop up and you never hear of again? Aye, ok. Fact is, matey, the music game is a load of bollx. What exactly constitutes ‘original’ anyway? Has anything been original in the past 30 years? I have no time for ‘new’ bands, because they do ‘feck all’ for me. I’d sooner listen to the Stones, The Who, or Van Morrison.
Original bands are doing shyte all, mate. If you want to play for free, or a few beers, fair enough. But I…..don’t. You tell me how many ‘Original bands’ are getting paying work……none.
You go in Ravine, Goose Green, or wherever, and see how many ‘original’ bands they have on. And if they do, it’ll not be a Fri-Sat night. Might have a ‘Rock’ night for sweaty students. Fact is, John, Joe, Phyllis, and Margaret, don’t want some sweatbag mumbling over a load of guitar reverb. They want something they know. They want the likes of myself, with the Bublé, Van Morrison, etc, or someone like Josh Adams, doing his Luther Vandross stuff. (He’s not my cup of tea, personally, but he does very well at what he does)
I suspect John,Joe,Phyllisand Margaret just want a game of Bingo and a chat then fo ok off wom for their horlicks be serious Vat the prices charged by these bands as alot to do with the demise of some of the pubs and clubs that have gone bust

Aye and bent committee members! ruined many a club ;)You’re not wrong.
Internal bickering and general falling out, have ruined many a decent venue. Sometimes they never recover.
And the fiddling that goes on? It’s rife. Committee men in these clubs are a breed apart, but concert secretaries are something else. I’ve seen some really funny things happen. One time, I saw a band setting up. The guitarist was sat at the front of the stage, tuning his guitar. I could see the concert secretary, stood at the side, glaring at him. After a few minutes, he bound over to the guitarist and said “What do you think you’re doing?” The startled guitarist said “I’m tuning my guitar”. The concert secretary, before storming off, said “Tuning your guitar? You’ve known about this booking for 6 bloody month!” (and he was serious) :shock:Another reason for places failing, is they get ideas above their status. I know of a club over St Helens/Widnes way that booked ‘The Real Thing’, ex chart toppers, to perform last year. They agreed to pay them £2000, and expected a full night of entertainment. When they turned up and were setting up, it was discovered that out of the 3 men who were there, only ONE was an original, and that rather than them have a live band with them backing them up, as expected, they were using backing tracks. They proceeded to do their show……and wrapped it up after 45 minutes, much to the consternation of the venue, and the crowd, who had all paid a fee. Unbelievably, they were STILL paid their full £2000!
And they wonder why clubs go down the pan. :roll:
I went to a club in Manchester last year,and they had a copy of an unpaid utilities bill on the noticeboard. They owed £10,000!
The reason I am now providing a Disco service as well, is that I have been doing a few functions anyway, where I have done a disco AND sang. I don’t know why people on here are so funny about it. At least I don’t have to go to sign on, and am actually DOING something! (That’s aimed at Filmoss, who is supposedly old enough to know better)

Is he?
What about ‘Wham’?
Vat69..Surely you know about Gash Collective/Free party’s? Worth going to or not?James, in all honesty, I haven’t got a clue what you are on about. Must be an ‘age’ thing. I don’t really care for any bands who are out at the present. It actually bores me.
To me, a ‘Gash’ is a nickname for a ladies, er, ‘private parts’. (Fanny, to put it a bit more uncouth)
Now, I HAVE been to a few parties over the years where there was a lot of ‘Gash’ on offer, but I chance that this is NOT what you mean. :lol:
So what actually is ‘Gash Collective/Free partys’?

Like where you meet up at a certain destination in middle of nowhere (next one is at the moors) and they text you the actual place at last minute..Usually an abandoned building or a set up in the woods etc. And it is just a free party. But it is strictly an invite thing and the people who organise it will not speak a word of it. You need a password when you are on the sight..check it out! Youtube it?

You mean like a ‘Rave’? :roll:
Or do you mean meeting ‘likeminded people in dimly lit car parks’ and flashing your car lights as an ‘invitation’? LOL! :lol:
