JTUK Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1462264512' post='3041474'] I don't think living in Gloucestershire is any different to anywhere else in the country with perhaps the exception of London. It depends a lot where you are looking for bands and musicians in my opinion. I wasn't in a band when I moved to Cheltenham a few years ago, I found one band on a muso-finder style website, joined them and through that band (who consequently didn't play music I loved particularly) I have met so many brilliant musicians and been in 2-4 bands at any one point since, playing good variety of music [b]Judging by a few posts you have made I guess your into funky/jazz/fusion kinds stuff, Incognito and Brand New Heavies etc? I LOVE music like this, but sadly I don't think there is much of market for it venues up and down the county. Some of he busiest working bands I know and have seen, play crowd pleasing stuff, big 'cheesy' tunes that you can either sing along to in pubs or dance to at weddings.[/b] I play in a tribute band, a wedding pop covers band, and up until recently two soul bands. I cant say I am a massive soul fan but I learned to almost remove myself from what I was playing and I just get a buzz playing any kind of music well with good musicians to people who enjoy it. I think it is just abut what you want from music, if you cant find a band playing what you want, try and put one together. [/quote] Maybe it is regional but the bands that get out of pubs round here tend to be blues/greasy funk bands doing stuff like Maceo, Meters, swampie stuff and long forgotten 70's funk. In that respect a lot of the blues bands have been left behind altho there is always room for a classy blues band. (The trick is being more that a one trick pony tho..??)

BigRedX Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1462260896' post='3041448'] That's cool when you're 25 but starts to wear a bit thin when you're in your 30s and trying to balance a gigging band with a full time job and maybe a family. [/quote] Everyone has to make their own lifestyle choices. There's no rules to say that you have to have a career and a family once you are in your 30s.

keefbaker Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Where you are makes ALL the difference and informs you of some of the music you'll find. I used to live slap bang in the middle of Liverpool and Manchester and you couldn't throw a stone without hitting another musician. Then Leeds which has a jazz college so there's TONS of musicians, and now I live in Cambridgeshire and there's..... frankly.... hardly a damn thing. So yeah, it's far from "just London" but I suppose if you've never lived up near the Leeds/Liverpool belt you'd never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
