Hu it isn't a football game so the title is a little misleading, however it is a worthwhile discussion. Does it matter who does the bleating? I get a bit, no not a bit, a lot brassed off that we can't get to sing far from the usual suspects but it is about bums on seats and there is a real reluctance for people to book anyone they do not know. As for venues putting guitar/drum combos on then its what jo public are fed on by the radio stations so people just go with the flow, when something a bit different turns up they may benefit by people turning up for beans on toast and get a curry instead.
