Hi Michael !
I`ll have a look for your band on Google to get an idea of what you play.
It was quite a while ago that I used to go to the Civic and the only concerts that are good enough to remember after all those years were Genesis, Soft Machine, Captain Beefheart. Oh,and local boy, Eric Clapton too.
Good luck getting into the London scene - at least there are lots of small venues/pubs that like to have live bands. After you have headlined at the opening concert of GLive, they`ll be begging to have you !
These days, I listen to world music, mainly, or instrumental jazz/rock that I`ve discovered thanks to the guys on MB: Ozric Tentacles, Gong and Dûn among others.
BTW, I see your post count is still at zero - you should get in there among the threads and start posting, Michael
