Credit Crunch?
Has anyone else noticed the rapid rise in gig prices since record sales were decimated by the advent of internet file-sharing?
Checking out forthcoming shows at the Mick Jagger Centre in Dartford I noticed that it would cost £22.00 to see Elkie Brooks in a few weeks time.Considering it only cost me a tenner to see Jackie Leven at The Borderline recently this seems a very high price for the fare on offer.
With recent hikes in heating and the cost of living I would have thought that artists would have tried to be more competetive in their pricing structures,or perhaps Dartford is just a hotbed of nostalgic Vinegar Joe fans?
back garden gig
If you could choose three bands or solo artists,alive or dead from any period in their history to play in your garden,who would you pick?
Remember, in times of dry weather Rammstein could be a fire hazard...
