Sure.

Until you've posted a video of you playing, or linked to a band website, I'm calling bullshit, mate.

Don't blame me. That's how it works around here.

Yeah? So what?

99.9% of working musicians play these kinds of clubs very week.

What are you trying to say? That to get up and play a gig like this you don't actually have to be able to play an instrument?

You’re not a working musician though, you’re a conveyancer who plays in a band on a weekend for buttons, and does it primarily for enjoyment.

To hear you talk about it you’d think you’re on the cusp of being ‘discovered’. You ain’t the edge mate.

Im a fair man HiaG and i hear your plight, i realise you will be a lost Nan an utterly destroyed soul without your bum fluff friend.

However, being the honest and sincere upstanding citizen that i am, i am happy to reach an agreement for your siamese twin immediate release.

This is not like a no brexit deal, i do barter, but i need blood man, a grass is a grass and in the not606 mafia world reputations are at stake.

So here's the deal, for the release of piskie you have to choose someone to take his place, but you only get two choices bro, so maybe flip a coin;

Skylarker or Slycock....

THE CHOICE IS YOURS <ok>

Not where you come from, perhaps. Round my way, there is a lot of competition for gigs.

Sure, some bands are better than others, but no club is going to pay members' hard cash for music that no one wants to hear.

My band has been playing paid gigs for the past seven years, most of it repeat work.

I'm not a "conveyancer."

The gigs we play are the same gigs that working pros play, and we get paid the same as they do.

When you step up on that stage, you've got to be able to play. The pissed up punters are not going to give you the benefit of the doubt if you cannot play. Quite the opposite, in fact.

50 something year olds doing Quo numbers and wearing shades and leather jackets performing to crowds of literally double figures is pretty sad .

Loads of tubby old men play pub football at weekends too , they don't have to be good .

Depends on which part of London.

I used to gig all over Finsbury Park and Brenford areas, and around Cricklewood. Most gigging bands are fairly dull, I have found, over the years. it usually depends on whether or not you like the material they cover.
