To be considered a decent pub, they MUST have quality LIVE MUSIC, played by professionals with talent (sorry to all the wannabees and karaoke junkies). Garage bands belong where their name implies and the 'hat on backwards' crew might be best served to wait outside and wash windscreens.
Expressions of interest are now being taken for the new House Band.
All professionals will be considered, or those with AT LEAST 10 years commercial experience.
Please post your professional quality demo files to the forum. For those that don't know what a professional demo should sound like, don't bother posting.
All will be replied to, but take note that they will be critically evaluated. If you can't take professional comment, don't bother posting.

Steve,
You need to add, "professional quality is not mp3".
On the subject of quality, I see ABCKO have now added to the DSD remastered Stones series, versions in 24 bit and 88 and 176 khz.
I just finished setting up my electronic drum kit. It's freeeeeeekin' awesome.

I'll video something and post it.
As I said Graeme, if someone needs to ask what a professional demo is, then they have not got one.
Truth is that MP3 is quite ok.....it's what's in the recording that matters, not the audio quality.

We may be at cross purposes, and you may be limiting your mp3 is fine response to demo tapes, but as soon as compare 44.1 and mp3 on a $3k plus stereo system, the differences are marked. But on an ipod, even with $200 etymotics, I can't hear the difference.
Actually, I think if I was doing a demo, and knowing the above, I would do it in high res so the 'colours' come out.
Anyway, that's just a dream; unless a bolt of talent lightning shoots down soon, I'm stuck with being a law man.Â
Fair enough!
In case anyone is still living in suspense (unlikely), the contents of a musicians demo file should be sound bytes ONLY. They should be chosen to reflect all aspects of their performance capabilities.

I have lost track of the amount of demo's I've received over the years which are effectively mini albums. It's like submitting a 10 page resume to apply for a job.......................just wasting everyone's time. Graeme Hancock said:
