Here is a run down of what i paid for my night at Lemon Tree...with 'local' nights like this i feel that the statement in the paper was a bit of a dissapointment...
£1000 for hire = VAT £1175
Just before the gig i found out that this price did not include the lightin technician OR the drum kit...SHOCKING!!!
I had been led to belive that the Lemon Tree would supply some crates of beers for the guys upstairs but i ended up doing that too...
I got a settlement cheque through last week actually (i was meant to get it within 14 days) for £44...thats how much i made...bearing in mind the bands didnt get paid either...
The Lemon Tree made all of the above plus however much was made from the 300 people drinking at the bar AND they added 2.50 onto the ticket prices at the door so people were paying 7.50 instead of a fiver...
I said to them please take the price down to a fiver but still take your 2.50 but nope...
Peacock Visual Arts does do music...
It HAS to reopen under private ownership...
Austin i also have a fiver!
