Any of those island musicians learn how to be professional yet?
Is that farce of a musicians unuin still pretending to be of any value whatsoever?
Do they still believe that keeping pros OFF the island will make the locals better?

There our many obstacles to bringing in entertainment but well worth it. Go to immagrations web page for the facts and you'll see with all the crap that small business has to put up with to provide entertainment and JOBS.

Unfortunately thats what the management like, last year I saw a young guy there , yes, he was karaoke, but he could sing and play very well. Sadly the nature of the business in Bermuda has produced many karaoke hacks, myself included, they dont like bands, they are too expensive and too loud(live drums do that). When I decided to play just as a band my nights dropped from seven to two a week.

 If you want to beat somebody up about it start with the guys that do the hiring , they have shaped the trend. Also I believe the Bermudian musicians used to try so hard to bad mouth each other to get work it backfired and got them all labelled as crap.

Let face it, Little johnny goes to the bar managers and says all the other bands are crap and druggies , hire me instead, what sort of view and reputation do you think will form about musicians in general.

I see the same thing happening politically, both the PLP and UBP claim each other are crap , dishonest and useless, so what do you think the IB and tourism sectors think.

Bermuda is self destructing. There is no sense of honour and honesty anymore, all hail to the great American way.
