JW, appreciate it very much, have only had 4 GB of bandwidth each month (mobile only, no home broadband) but changed over to Optus and they were offering 10 GB for $40 pm allowing a bit more freedom, oh and stopped working 12 – 13 hour days!

So the formation of a writers group charged with helping talent rise with better songs although surely a bit of hard work, is a great idea and one worth the effort. Maybe a Peninsula Group and a City Central group eh JW with get a together for cross pollination?

Arty I ran an Idea across some 40 people about
a) a song writing group
b) if successful leveraging from the former Frankston Guitar Festival into a Frankston Songwriting event on a MUCH smaller level 1 venue only and about writing rather than flogging guitars and other gear and throwing in bands as an after thought.
It never seemed to be managed particularly well..too spread out and the centre was not much more than a $10 entrance fee for a trade fair. Car parking was abysmal. Very disappointing. The local council pulled out of the sponsorship and so it ceased to be.
Of the 40 + emails I sent plus ph calls , I had 4 responses . Still it was late last year. I might try again and see what the level of interest is.. Had a few more ideas since .
Lets get our heads together and see what we can come up with. I think I can get some better know locals artists aling but we would need a lot more bottom end to make it worth while for the artists>
Of course they could donate their services for the publicity... Yeah Like RIGHT not !!!!!
