I do understand its all good intention and well meaning, but as stated before and happened before quite many times, talk is cheap.
Simply put, who is gonna come out with $300-$800 for venue rental, $400-$1,000 for equipment rental. And these budget are just for small scale gig. Such gigs are already happening, by many independent organisers every week of the year already. Thus I feel, no impact.
My opinion is that if you are busy on a Sat nite, you won't be free any other nites either.
Your idea is quite cool, sound like a TCS variety show, with a backing band and stuff for performers. Could be tried, even at the Marine Cove gigs, I see that possible. Marine Cove gigs are not fixed theme, and the main idea is to promote local musicians and also trying in it's little way to help the local music scene understanding. With very limited funding, we need as much goodwill resources and helpouts as possible.
Agains, those with ideas, (AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO REALISE IT), see others who are currently having their programme. Try to propose it to them and integrate into their plans. Of course when you come out with idea, you must come out with your own time, efforts and resources. Those who are with your idea must also come and support and volunteer too.
