  2. Twas a good un......

    Quite glad the Christiansen gig was moved to the back room as it had a great atmosphere...... Bloody hot in there though...

    Christiansen were ace....... rather like At The Drive In meets Kyuss

    They may well be back next year. Either because they really enjoyed them selves and were treated well or because I gave them cans of Irn Bru which you can`t get in the US..... you be the judge!

  3. I feel that there are a lot of issues made here and some valid points etc. Most small venues that put on act do struggle to recouperate money from gigs and the likes.

    If a band is organised/professional and good to work with then I would have no problem paying them. I feel that all bands should be paid in some way for their performance. Truth be known that if you don`t put inthe ground work for your gig in terms of being organised and professional then many promotors won`t book you even for small support slots.

    Sometimes it amazes me when a band ends up getting a gig and all they do is stick up a little home made poster in one up and that constitutes their advertising. It is up to the promotor to promote the gig but the band should also take this as an oportunity to promote their band.

    For instance I`ve already seen information about Radio Lucifer etc and they`ve not even played a gig yet.

    Promotors at grass roots level generally have to put in a lot of man hours to get very little back. Although when it all works out it`s worth it in the end....tupence worth.
