I am also a performer and at the moment in Melbourne things have been slow, due to New liquor licencing laws, which has resulted in a serious down tun in Live gigs...Ne way, we are not taking it lying down, and The musicians and fans of live music have organised a protest on February 23rd 2010 at 4pm, entitled
Save Live Australia's Music (S.L.A.M.) Rally!!

Hi Justine
Welcome on the Forum!....We may have met at the Rally(?), but I'm affraid I don't recall all I met.
Maybe next time/this year!
Thanks for the offer for airplay!....I'm into Country music....don't expect Western Swing will do?
Cheers from Denmark

Justine:
Really pleasant stuff. That's a tenor sax, right? I have an old Selmer alto sitting in my basement, circa 1965, and it never sounded as good as you do. Though I had a lot of fun with it. Welcome to the forums!

Hey Justine

[Bad Monkey]

welcome Justine,
I do seem to remember you from the road rally.nice chops by the way.I'm also glad the musicians their are making a stand.I wish the musicians here could do the same but their are too many bad bands that will play for free. If it makes you feel any better ,the grass isn't greener over here as they say. Between the economy being so... bad and the police cracking down on drinking and driving and throw in the fact that many venues actually make you buy the tickets to sell to your following ,well lets just say that its more likely to cost you money to play. Its certainly not like it was in the old days when you could make a living at this.anyways,good luck and welcome....
