| Comment | Guitar & pedal board & amplifier alone would require a black back there and back. Using myself as an example, it would cost me 20 quid to get from mount florida to cottiers. Then it'll be 20 back. Drummer would need to do the same. Do that's 80 quid in costs already. Bassist, other guitarist etc, that's 160 in transport just for a 4 piece band, unless of course they live closer to cottiers (what full time musician could remotely afford that area tho?) and also don't get get the cost of a p.a system which could be 300/350 even for a small one.
Phrasing it as 'look at it as a free practice' isn't appealing either. Practice rooms supply amps, kits, p.a system etc. They cost 20-30 for three hours. And you generally rehearse songs multiple times. Can't do that at a gig. So it's far from a free rehearsal, it's actually a very expensive hassle. |
