Relocating and still being a functioning musician

[Jeztone]

Theres a very very strong possibility that I am going to be offered a promotion in London. The money is 8-9K more Which will probably mean in order to save costs I end up relocating to either Bedford/Luton or possibly St Albans.

If I take the job I think this will mean me leaving my current band. I enjoy playing the guitar and I enjoy gigging, Does anyone know what the music scene is like in the Beds/Southeast commuter belt? I lived in Luton as a student and I never encountered any musicians that were into my kinda thing. So I'm worried that if I make the move, my playing career comes to an end.

Your sort of thing being ..... ?

I guess alternative rock/ Shoegaze kinda thing,

Bit old for that ...

But there is plenty of Blues & Classic Rock bands about. St Albans has pretty lively music scene (it is a pretty expensive place to live though)
