or accuse me of being in a 'clique'
Rather than talk about it, I'm going to continue to support local and not so local bands and venues this weekend, as I do most weekends when I'm not gigging and not ill.
I have to admit that upto about a year ago I was a 'well I play in a band most weekends - why would I go out and see one when I'm not playing?' brigade, but actually taking the plunge and getting out there and seeing you guys do what you love doing changed all that, and now I'm an NWB headbanderolic.
And it's not just seeing the bands and hearing the music either - it's meeting the people:
The members of the bands;
The landlords and landladies;
and, ofcourse, the punters which is all of US if we're not playing.
I know I bang on about this alot, but that's because I really think it's true.
So this Saturday I'm going to go and support a brand new band composed of people whom I know for a fact absolutely love the music they're going to be playing , 'Black Rose' Thin Lizzy covers band.
I might end up seeing a band on Sunday aswell......
Now, I'm not expecting you all to come and join my 'clique' (although it's a rather odd clique 'cos everyone is in it), but just go and see someone if you're not playing. Take your gig diary too - you might even get a booking out of it.
So come on boys and girls, stop all this bitching and moaning and
JUST GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY YOURSELVES!
If WE can't do it, how can we expect 'average' punters to?
