Tell me about it. A few years ago it was unusual not to be working three, maybe four or even five gigs a week. Then it became two. Then one, but at least you could generally rely on a Saturday night job. I used to get withdrawal symptoms if a weekend passed by without a gig. But now the scene, in my part of the UK anyway, has deteriorated to the point where I consider myself lucky to get more than a couple of gigs a month. There are many reasons why but knowing what they are doesn't help. It isn't freedom, it's unemployment.
