Re: CIU Clubs is Despair ( Brian )
During the 60's we played the clubs and only got £10 for four of us. People are getting tired of watching a solo guitar vocalist using backing tracks. It's only a glorified karaoke and I'm sure you'll agree. The clubs were too full of Maggie this and Maggie that. However as you say keeping a band on the road is expensive. Our driver got £2 which left us with £2 each but after a couple of pints and a further taxi home from stashing the equipment away, I was often out of pocket! Great days ! I'd do it all again given the chance!
