  11. Out of town bands

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I have only just seen this and can assume its the Woe Betides show you did for me in Oct.

    Would like to clarify a few points.

    Firstly

    1 - re payment - we pay all our support bands and I told one of you that I would arrange payment if you emailed me details. In this case I think you all left before the end when I settle up with bands generally. You can note that both other supports were paid what was agreed with them. Please send me an email or message me and I will arrange for the money to either be transferred or we can get it to you when youre next in Aberdeen. Id prefer that that posting on here - for example you were all in Drummonds last night - could have easily spoken to me - if I had remembered then I would have settled up with you there and then.

    2 - re sound issue - yes this was far from ideal. The headliner were late and indeed that was annoying. This does happen on occassion and as shit as it may be, my main prioroty rightly or wrongly has to be their soundcheck. This is something that annoys me too so I totally see your point. To be fair the sound in Tunnels 2 at that point was generally shit anyway so could be a factor. Thankfully this has been improved now although I generally would not use that Tunnel anyway and was only due to being the only room free that date.

    3 - if you feel I didnt make the effort to speak to you, I apologise. I have been accused of this before and i assure you its not because Im rude. I definitely introduced myself to you and tried to keep you posted as much as pos and I def spoke to some of you before you left. Bear in mind I didnt know where the headliner were either so was a tad stressed etc. I then maybe unfairly was a bit pissed off at being threatned and abused by some of the people you took with you who had walked past me without paying to get in and were refusing to pay the entry fee. I know this was not your fault however.

    Anyway my basic point is that I put on shit loads of gigs, try to treat everyone well and on the whole think we do, hence why so many bands return to play for us. Yes mistakes happen and if bands leave early then sometimes they dont get paid. All Im saying is there is always money for supports with us so pls just let me know of any problem so I can sort it. Reading this is the first I knew of any issue.
