For every grassroots music venue that shuts its doors, around 200 gigs vanish from the map. 200 local shows that don’t happen.
No support slots. No first-stage debuts. No tour dates in your town. No gigs = no future for live music. None of the stuff you love. Simple.

“be careful what you wish for”
I wrote the song a few months after a break-up, when I had a moment of clarity and the rose-coloured glasses came off.
