For me as a punter it's great, for example I saw a gig earlier this year St Pancras Old Church, a tiny space maybe 100 tickets. The headline was the Saxophones, an american duo who have a young child, one set of grandparents came along to babysit. I can't remember the name of the opening act but he was a young man from London so I guess no big deal, second support was Dana Gavanski (absolutely amazingly good) also from America.

So how is there enough money to make it all happen? But I do love the huge number of intimate venues that have been popping up all over London in the last few years.

Agree that tech has made it easier for people to produce and distribute their music but must be tough.
