Comments on the Lakeland music scene:
Jamie: It’s becoming very vibrant with new players and new interpretations of music itself. There are different things going on that were not five years ago.
David Brimer: It’s thriving and more people need to take it seriously.
Thoughts on increasing the interest or numbers in the crowd when it comes to getting people out of the house:
Jamie: Promotion. It needs to be word of mouth and also social media; that is the language everyone speaks today.
David: Awareness of the quality. I don’t think the people think the music is quality.
Anything else?
Jamie: Peace, love and music.
David: They don’t know all the places they have music; Facebook only goes so far.
