I think that it doesn't help that we're in Manchester. There's too much choice, and people can be blasé/cool as fuck about it all. We played with a really cool band from London in Levenshulme the other week. No one there. They had played in a working men's in Halifax the night before to over 100 people.
But if you say you've only come across 2 promoters that are half way serious about it, then that's a significant problem in itself.

I do agree with the Squier thing, but for your average 4-piece you still need a drum kit and a bass as well, as a minimum, and potentially another guitar+amp. Obviously it can be done for well under 5k, but where you could kit an entire 5-a-side football team with cheap-ish kit for 500 quid, that's 1 person's worth of gigging equipment - Squier Strat, second hand VC30 or something, some reliable cables and a pedal of 2.
Aye fair enough but I'm not sure spending money on something entitles you to any money-most people start to play an instrument due to a love of music not to earn money out of playing it
