are gigs more expensive than they used to be?
I have just been thinking about this really and in the days gone by, many of the bigger touring band gigs at kef etc were far cheaper to see. anyone remember how much *that* king prawn gig with whitmore and the upstarts was? i'd be surprised if it was more than 4 pounds, yet 5 or 6 quid seems to be the norm now for large-ish touring bands. even some of the gigs people are putting on at drakes (basically free to hire) seem to be like 4 quid when it's just small scottish bands playing. I may be imagining this all but does anybody else agree?
