Some very good points. I've offered to play for tips. I guess I should have a fee as well cause as you say it shows how desperate I am.
I actually got a little lucky and when i stopped by at what i considered the most appropriate places that I've been I got to talk to the person hiring the entertainment. Here is the deal. All 3 places basic hire:
1. classic rock
2. blues
3. regae
One place is 5 nights a week, one is two nights a week & one is four nights a week.
The consensus is to them it doesn't matter that on the off nights nobody is there. They WILL NOT hire anything other then the type of acts they already have.Wouldn't matter if I brought in 500 people.
Straight out of the horses mouth. These places just don't like County. Period.
