Its a simple case of supply and demand.
If you have a product that the public want to hear/see they will come, you will be booked and paid for your services (if you play for a fee - and lots aren't).
O course there is a vast difference and variety of live entertainment out there, from the one man and his accordion/guitar in the old village hall(possibly with a drum machine) to a 40 piece choir or orchestra.
The music scene is not just about young, loud rock bands struggling for their first paid gig. There's everything from bell ringers to livingroom organists out there.
To say there is no scene is very blinkered indeed.
Myself, I very rarely play in public these days. 98% of my gigs are private functions behind closed doors with an invited audience paid for by a host. (So much more civilised, though musically of a much more limited scope - still lots of fun!!)
All the world's a stage and we are merely players . . . . .
