Oh for sure playing out will generate more interest, we’re at a point where we can’t and don’t want to gig every week, also want to play to decent crowds which playing once a month allows us to do,
we do ok on merch, not looking to make a lot on money but simply get our music into more ears online, ie we’ve had a few plays on bbc introducing, but it’s the smaller local station however I know a few bands who have bypassed this step due to who they know…..hence why I’m not the biggest fan on bbc intro
