This article draws from a wider research project undertaken in 2018 in Armidale, a small regional city in New South Wales (NSW) Australia, to explore the challenges commercial venues face in presenting and maintaining a regular live music programme. An analysis of the main themes suggests that the issues regional venues encounter are often qualitatively and/or quantitatively different from those facing their urban counterparts. This research found that regulatory issues, such as licensing, planning and noise, were not considered major impediments to regularly hosting live music. Rather, finding and accessing affordable quality bands in the numbers and styles needed to keep audiences coming to gigs, and getting audiences to regularly attend and spend money in the numbers needed to sustain the gigs, were identified as ongoing difficulties. Although venues in larger metropolitan cities are often confronted with similar problems, these are not the sort of issues that stand out in the research in this area. Rather the regulatory environment is emphasised. By drawing attention to the non-regulatory challenges regional venues face, important new avenues of research are opened up that will benefit live music scenes across Australia.

区域现场音乐场所面临的挑战:新南威尔士州阿米代尔场馆的案例研究

本文借鉴了 2018 年在澳大利亚新南威尔士州 (NSW) 的一个小地方城市阿米代尔开展的一项更广泛的研究项目,以探讨商业场所在呈现和维持定期现场音乐节目时面临的挑战。对主要主题的分析表明,区域场馆遇到的问题通常在质量和/或数量上与城市同行面临的问题不同。这项研究发现,许可、规划和噪音等监管问题并未被视为定期举办现场音乐的主要障碍。相反,寻找和访问数量和风格可负担得起的优质乐队,以保持观众前来演出,并让观众定期参加并花费维持演出所需的人数,被认为是持续存在的困难。尽管大都市的场馆经常面临类似的问题,但这些并不是该领域研究中突出的问题。而是强调监管环境。通过引起人们对区域场地面临的非监管挑战的关注,开辟了重要的新研究途径,这将有利于澳大利亚各地的现场音乐表演。
