Just noticed this thread.
I've been a singer for many years, but now that I've reached 36 and no record deal it's starting to get long between each gig. When I first started we had a band who did ok in our town and got good reviews on national radio. Since we didn't have a manager and none of us were very administrative we didn't get much further than that. My 'highlight' (commercially speaking) was participation in a national TV show called "Stjerner i sikte" (English: "Look to the stars") in 1997, where I performed "A view to a kill" by Duran Duran. I participated in that mostly to please my mother, as the concept of trying to sing and act like other artists appalled me. After that I got pretty much rejected by other musicians, since I had 'sold myself' in that TV show. So now I'm mostly doing ordinary work and sing from time to time at parties/weddings etc...  -------------------- Do not take me for a conjurer of cheap tricks!

Nothing wrong with singing other people's stuff. -------------------- "Its when murder is justice that martyrs are made"

I know, and the musicians in this town are generally quite judgmental and arrogant, although there are certainly exceptions. But we (almost the same gang as our original band) actually made a living of playing cover music for several years. We were 'house band' for 2 clubs, and it was always packed full. We started a trend here, I think I can say. Since we started playing, the town got swamped with cover bands of various quality, each fighting for gigs. Even now after several years since we stopped playing regularly I'm still being stopped on the street by people saying stuff like 'Hey, you were the singer in the Garagen house band! That was the best time of my life!'. Compliments like that still makes me very happy...  -------------------- Do not take me for a conjurer of cheap tricks!
