So anyone who has been close to musicians is aware of how little they get for what they do and how much time they put in. Sometimes they’re lucky to get drinks for what they do.
In the meantime, we have arseholes with at least enough money in their pockets to go out telling the door person ‘we’re with the band’, hitting bands up for entry or trying to get in the back entrance with them. For 10 or 15 entry fee.
That’s just a perspective of someone who has been close to local level musicians and isn’t an artist themselves. I can imagine what other performing and producing artists have to put up with.
Good on Ireland for this. I don’t think they’ll struggle screening it. Social payments underwrite artistic creativity because if artists have it, they can at least eat and live while they produce for the entertainment of others.
