Experience the ups and downs of the Sydney live music scene through the eyes of Liam Whelan as we follow him in preparation for one of his weekly gigs
Traversing through Sydney’s music scene is Liam Whelan, and it is clear that he has a strong passion for performing. However the audience sharing this same passion and enthusiasm for live music is never guaranteed, and the monetary incentive can often times be very low. It can also be disheartening to have to perform cover songs to keep the audience's attention when you have a range of your own music that you would also like to perform. But does this affect him enough to stop doing what he loves? Is the pursuit to be creative and write and perform music worth it when the rewards can be so small? Do the high points of sharing music with a passionate audience outweigh the lows of performing to a pub of disinterested patrons?
