So once again Jack Bird stepped up and played, including a Nirvana and a Clash cover in this his own material. I had a chance to chat with Jack at the end and ask him about where he gigs. He goes to Bath and Bristol mostly but as I suspected for original acts gigs where you even get paid your expenses are thin on the ground. Once you have travelled any distance which is a necessity when you live in the sticks then you are paying to play. That an experienced and established original act has that problem then that's what I'll be looking at. I have enjoyed gigging so far though so I have the appetite to do it for now.
