How many appearances did the band make a year?
For a few leading bands from the north of England, with their financial commitments, means that they are out and about for 40+ jobs a year. For Stanshawe & Sun Life this level of work-load was never seen as attractive and meant you were doing three jobs – your job, your band, and keeping your spouse happy because you’re never at home. For us, certainly in the 1990’s, we appeared in public between 20-25 times per year, which was seen as an ideal number for the performance & financial returns it gave us.
