I know keep it simple is gigging more in his immediate area, but another thing to remember is this: The ENTIRE UK--England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland--everything, is smaller than the state of Oregon. So no matter where you'd be, it wouldn't be that far to travel to gigs there. I've been on the road in "roughing it" mode where we've gone from Florida, where I was based, all over the states, through Canada, including places like the Yukon, and Alaska and back. Only having to travel an area the size of Oregon would have been a breeze. On one leg of a tour, our first gig was in Idaho. It was a 56 hour drive from South Florida for us . . . and we "combat drove" the whole way--driving non-stop, just taking turns driving and sleeping.KIS, I really have to ask:
If you're in such a rural area, how did you get to playing gigs like this? I'm in kind of the same situation, and I'm curious.
Good luck with the new guitarist, by the way. He sounds like a good addition to the band.
Another fascinating thing to think about when you consider the size of the UK is how many amazing, influential bands have come only out of England.
