what's the matter?
Nigel Russell (Danse Macabre): 'A. The Venues. B. Inflation. The costs involved are so high.” Kerry O'Connor (fan):. "The variety and standard, of venues is appalling and audience apathy is rife too many people staring vacantly into their beer." Paul Rose (Furtive): "No underage venue. People are not going out as much as they were and while door charges have not gone up in 12 months, band's running costs have almost doubled.- So bands are playing with inferior equipment and they don't have -the money to do themselves justice in the recording studio." Jean Williams (Reverb): "The availability and cost •of equipment due to import restrictions and duty. The tax on local records. Shortage of good venues." Harry Ratbag (Rem): "Cabbages! Too . many people wanting too much money. Music counts, money helps. Not the other way.roundaißßßßflß Mike Corless (NMM): "Costs. They don't gel with door charges that pub managers try to impose. The fact that bands can't put S 5 on the door is ridiculous." Andrew' Boak (Radio B): "No one's got any money."
