Well we learn as we go. Bands need to book their own gigs as there can be a lot of toing and froing. I tried to set up a permanent Beergarden thingee in the inner city fringe but the end result was that we were to do a trial after a Broncos Sunday home game.

Of course they then had weeks of Friday night games or away games and the one Sunday game they did have was missed by both sides Then we were to wait till it warmed up a bit and then the person to handle entertainment changed jobs and we were to start all over again.

I guess the gigs needed to start straight away and both sides need to have their act tgether. The 2nd place I had in mind was a country pub but in the end they didn't really want to pay more than a pittance. The 3rd place was the Big Fish Tavern and they gave us a trial and we got a few bookings for paid gigs out of it.

Warrior bands are welcome to contact the pub for gigs but they are booked out until next year. I guess its better for Ellaways to provide playng opportunities to prepare bands for the big wide world and to give some established bands a chance to play in front of audiences when gigs are a long time between drinks.

Cheers,
