Well, yes, it is very difficult to get a live gig. Nearly impossible to get one that even pays for your petrol. AND, there are more than half of the world'd pokie machines in new south wales alone...:o
Dont forget that I am in Sydney... its a fairly up-tight place where everyone seems to be on edge. Dont let the whole \"mateship\" thing fool you - Sydney is like any other large city - every one for him/herself. I'm sure that if I went to a smaller city or town it would be easier to get a live gig.
On the other hand, I do play music in the like of Malmsteen, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden etc etc so there isnt a huge fanbase for that stuff here either. Europe on the other hand... :roll:
