IT was always my plan B due to my playing in a band. Loads of gigs, loads of lable interest (apparently), but still not signed, so have to plod along pretending I know what I'm doing...Call the cops

Is jobserve a good guide? The very best I see there is around 500 but they are few and far. 400 seems to be more common for the top end.
There are too many fishing trips on jobserve though.Comment

the gig I'm on at the moment is a dash under 400pd but also there is overtime and on call etc etc.... I've been offered more by Banks, and Barclays are one of them but they muck you around with contracts so I'm happy sitting here!! (i.e Not working for a Bank at the moment but for an Oil company) I've gigged at a few, Bank of America, Mellon and JPMC and there not so bad.SA says;
Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!
I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!
