I'm surprised more bands of all kinds don't do this... seems like such a good idea!

We made a profit on the night but not really very much.

oh.. maybe that's why more bands don't do it

We used to have a regular gig in a local pub (Jack's Bar and Grill) but they went under (still haven't figured out how a pub can go broke in Australia ????).

paying for a 20 piece band on a regular basis?

We're performing again in August and again we're hiring the premises and selling tickets, but this time the proceeds will be going to a cancer research charity. Unfortunately I won't be able to be there as I have a prior commitment to play in the orchestra for a local amateur performance of "Hairspray". Gonna be fun but I'm disappointed at missing the band gig.

We're currently looking for another regular gig similar to the Jack's one. We'd love it if we had enough work to feed ourselves, but in the meantime the more we play out the better we get and a regular gig that covered costs would be very welcome.


good luck to y'all... keep us posted!
