Live music in Britain...

What is currently making the UK the place it is? Not actually the few dozen bands and artists that can sell tens of thousands of seats in a morning but rather the very many hundreds that can pack out a pub or other small venue almost anywhere in the country and on any night of the week they choose!
The former of course almost always come from the ranks of the latter and, as long as there are plenty of promising new bands, there is almost certainly little to worry about. Currently there are and some are already signed to labels while others, such as pop/punk/indie five-piece Bi-Polar Baby , here seen live in their home city of Birmingham in December 2006, are not.
