I meant popular enough to justify going over there and playing a gig , when you factor in the costs of the Flights and the luxury tour bus , the venue hire and Jazs drugs and Geordies Vodka supply, playing to 70 people wont even cover costs

I was talking about popularity, playing a gig in front of 300 people doesn't constitute being popular
