Dorothy, Tin Man & Scarecrow. I think the lion is hiding somewhere nearby…
My latest updates on Twitter...- @oh_cat only charity gig I promoted I made sure all acts & soundman got paid enough to cover travel costs. some donated back, but not all
- @oh_cat I've seen numerous moderately talented but skint bands give up as they got fed up of paying to play & could no longer afford it.
- @oh_cat maybe in towns big enough for healthy scenes maybe, venues just turned to other cheap forms of entertainment dj's kareoke etc
- @Antonietta_E people just seem to forget how to drive on that bit of road! add to that the badly driven grockleboxes, no wonder it's chaos!
- @cloud64 totally agree! empire is ok, tho a 30min drive, patheticly overcrowded & impossible to park. not keen on a bar tho.
- @oh_cat exactly! venues cut out the promoters & booked talentless crap who'd play for free, people stopped going venues then closed/stopped
- @oh_cat it ended up w/ scene dieing as talentless crap who could afford to play 4 free every w/end did so & talent went & played elsewhere
- @oh_cat I once worked as a local promoter & found most local bands happily exploited to play for free, venues then preffered charity gigs!
