Don't do it!

Philipjoe's answer at the top of the show was spot diddly on.

I have had many offers from desperate landlords who know nothing about what an audience wants...simply throwing money and weekly gigs at us because of one great night.

And I used to nearly always take it.

It.never.ever.works.ever.

One of the worst things you can do is oversaturate your market...as the audience interest dwindles, so can that of the band...you start to ask yourselves 'why did they enjoyed it so much the first time but now can't be arsed to applaud?'...and that can lead to trying to look too deeply into the simple problem that they don't care anymore...people are fickle.

When it's your music it's so personal to you - the result of your own hard work and talent.

Imagine if it was a song put on the jukebox once a night, nobody would have a problem stating they're piss bored with it.

Once a month is the absolute maximum I would play a pub.
