First post question!
 
Hi all, I'm Mick.

My Wife Jane and I are in the initial stages of getting the Emigration thing going. THinking of Brisbane or Gold Coast area.

Don't worry, this isn't a "what do I do" post :huh: .

My question is far more personal.

I'm a guitar player (electric). I'd be really grateful if anyone could clue me in on the band/bar/club scene in the part of Australia we're interested in. I do online jamming, but nothing is like playing it live :D

Anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for your input!

Mick

It's not an imperative, so if no-one has experience of this, it's ok. I just thought I'd ask.

I got's to play my guitar. It keeps me grounded. :eek:

Damn. Good bass players are like gold dust mate. There must be about 50 guitar players per square yard here. :(
