From: Bernard Seriously, though, some bands gradually morh into their own tribute bands - Battlefield Band, for example, and, to some extent, Fairport... Really, it's down to market forces - when does a performer finally decide to call it a day? We know Harvey Andrews is retiring a year from now, but others just keep on going until the inevitable happens... What memories do we want our audiences to have when we're gone/retired? |
