Brigg Blog was expecting to hear some comments made about the provision of live music in the town last weekend. And this proved to be the case.
We had The Dirty Pitchers at Brigg Town Football Club's Hawthorns clubhouse, Ian Cawsey's Moggies at Brigg & District Servicemen's Club, The Steve Everett Band at the Lord Nelson and The Reason at the Woolpack.
So four live music gigs on the same night. And as was pointed out to us at the weekend, some Saturdays there's only the Market Place's Woolpack offering a 'turn'.
Tomorrow (Saturday, February 29) The Peacekeeperz rock band will be performing at The Woolie, from, 9pm. Free admission - all welcome.
Clearly, bands and singers generally need to be booked well in advance. But is four 'turns' one week and only one on certain Saturdays an ideal situation?
On do you believe it's a case of 'he more, the merrier?
I don’t think it’s in anyone’s interests, neither the bands or the public houses to have competing acts on the same night when attendance and trade can suffer as a result, so some collaboration and planning between venues would make sense. That being said If the acts are attracting and aimed at different audiences and the Brigg public have a choice of acts on a weekend to suit everyone’s taste then that’s even better for the town. Just my opinion ��
