Live Entertainment v CD (Costa Clueless)

A couple of weeks ago I am with a bar-restaurant owner, encouraging mister and missus to consider the proven profits and customer building potential of playing live music; especially if it is well advertised, which in our case comes free with every gig booked.

She replied it was cheaper to put a CD on. Still wondering why the Costa’s dead? My riposte: “Next time I need a meal I will shove a couple of euros is the vending machine for a coke and crisps.”

The place in question is just a stroll away from a bar where my gigsters were playing to a packed house last night. So, I strolled along to peek through the windows of Mr. and Mrs Clueless. Their venue was like a morgue; seven miserable looking customers who, as soon as their meal is down their necks will head for a venue showing live music – taking their money with them.

I know of another (ex) restaurant owner: Took a half page advert in a newspaper and didn’t include the address. It could have been anywhere between Cartagena and Santa Pola. Who would know? That restaurant has gone tits up too. Surprised? The Costa Clueless.

I must say that I agree with you ,I am amazed at the adverts fot bars and restuarants that do not include the address they must think that everyone knows where they are as you say Clueless

Yes. I 've seen that quite a few times, its always amazed me.
