I don't see any difference (except for the wherewithall, of course..!). I totally understand why you'd do it for a good cause or a venue you know will be a great night out, I can even understand you doing it for a crap venue that a mate is running but to drive to an unknown venue with no facilities for live music for free is a step too far for me, if I was that way inclined I'd want payment of some kind and pass it directly to charity, the landlord's pocket is not a registered charity Quote

Rich Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 "I've has found a website where I can get bands for free!" Yes, of course he has. The bloke is a total chancer. Definitely sounds like yet another decent venue disappearing down the bonzo dog. Have you got enough other decent regular haunts to make up for it? Small consolation I know, but. Quote

Quick! everybody pile into the backroom of the George. But before you do, check out Ben's graffiti of the Queen... and Hendrix... isn't that right @stingrayPete1977? Quote
EBS_freak Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 The Paradise is in that never ending cycle of will we or won't we with bands isn't it? @stingrayPete1977? Certainly not one for a weekend anyway. I think they have been scarred with the Mottram games. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 There isn't really a great music venue is there? The George has a nice space but it's out the back, that place on the corner that was Lloyds no1 was going to have bands but we never followed it up fully. Quote

Mind you, it's never really been the hub of the music world has it?! Quote

I can't imagine myself after stainding on my feet performing for 4 hours and after tearing down and packing lights and sound at 2:00 AM saying; " Oh no, that's ok I don't want any money. I do this completely for free" Blue If a band is any good, they will expect to be paid. I therefore must assume that bands that never get paid are just not very good. Quote
