Re: Hiring a band
I spend a lot of time in the studio but you really can't beat playing live. I loved The Beat, really underrated musicians. I think most of that Two Tone crowd were better musicians than they were given credit for…. Even Kix could play… it was teaching him the right key to play in that lost Madness ...

Re: Possible affordable targets for next season

Anyone wanting to see a decent Small Faces tribute (lookalikes of Steve Marriott included) I recommend the Small Fakers… (they cost a lot less too) often found supporting bands with original members… both Loving Spoonfull and Kinda Kinks loved them.

Re: Hiring a band
The cost of hiring a band has significantly reduced in the last five years, as a member of a band it’s hardly worth the effort to bother performing anymore.
