Glad I took the chance as he died last year. The cancer finally got the better of him. The thing that I liked about Healey's live show was the variety of material he would tackle - he wasn't just a blues guitarist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, its gotta be better than I Predict A Riot, tired old motown tunes and Mustang bleedin' Sally all night long! I do think he's being a bit optimistic expecting a blues band to play zappa tunes as well as a bit stingy only paying £200 thru! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) £200? I dunno. I see gigs on GoodParty all the time where people are budgeting £100-250 for a wedding band. I don't know where they get that figure from or what they expect for that money but I wouldn't let any band that was prepared to put up with all that wedding messing about near any do I was having. He'll get what he pays for. Edited April 26, 2010 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
