Topic: Getting gigs
Dont know what it is these days but venues seem reluctant to reply ,either they come back straight away and say things like we'll send you some dates or they just blank you ,
Certainly round here they advertise and ignore replys booking the same few acts ,Sure there are plenty of open mic things but its nor the same . yeah we get repeat bookings but breaking new ground is awful .Iknow we could get an agent but fees for playing are low enough with out giving it away and getting stuffed into some dive where no one else wants to play .
I'm 70 yrs old and my days of playing rough pubs are long gone .Last time I did one of those I had some one try to steal my gear and the 200pounds I was paid wouldnt have covered the loss.
Any one care to share stories ?
