It sounds to me like you're thinking that a new line-up with some younger guys into the same style is what you want. If it is, then I'd go for it. Ian Joe

That’s always a tough choice and only you can know whether the band you are in is going to give you what you want – whether that’s regular local gigs and a little beer money or some big commerical success.

It sounds to me like you’re thinking that a new line-up with some younger guys into the same style is what you want.

If it is, then I’d go for it.

Further (and maybe this is my lack of attention) it would be great if they tackled "making it" from different perspectives (such as song publishing)...I've been lucky in that an ageing geezer like me can write, perform and record songs quite easily these days - my only problem seems to be making a true living out of it!!!! Thanks again Ian & Amanda and for taking the trouble to respond to my emails.
