The three of us trekked to Tamworth, near Birmingham, last night for a show - it took us ages coz some roads were closed due to accidents, but we made it and found a pretty empty venue. We rocked out (although it is weird playing to so few people, I find myself struggling to think of anything to say...) and earned ourselves a re-booking in a few months on a Friday night when the place is generally busy by default.

It's a hard call to make. We had to slog to a an empty show, and we didn't even cover our costs, but we got something out of it anyway in the form of some new contacts and a better show. The trouble is, we could also have gone home with nothing but a smaller bank balance. Our sense for which shows to book is getting better, but with schools tours and things like that we have less time to book them....a catch 22.

But you don't wanna hear my problems right? So stop reading...

Max.
