  14. Band stole equipment

    in Musicians' Corner

    Just had a smashing gig tonight but got some news from the venue owner apparently at our gig at cellar 35 on april 9th a band stole the whole high hat and left their broken one without a clutch, Its been over a week and none of the bands have gotten in touch with us.

    Unfourtunatly the gig on the 9th was cut short because there were to many people under age in the venue so the only band that got to play were the go-slows from aberdeen - we are not saying it was their fault but we just going by what we have been told, If you have it please give us a buzz. (Its a pearl high hat that was stolen)

    I think its pretty bad when you have to check bands cases to make sure they haven't stole equipment.

    Has this ever happened to you?

  25. How many local bands get things in writing?

    I know it's not the same but I do stand up comedy all over Scotland, I also act as one of the bookers for the Snafu Comedy Club. If a promoter books me and tells me he'll give me 50 and I turn up and the gig is cancelled or only three people are in the audience I still expect 50. If I don't get it then I won't do that gig again and I'll tell everyone I know not to trust that promoter.

    I don't mind doing gigs for no or little money but if someone said that the amount I'd be paid would be dependent on how many people turn up I'd tell them to fuck off. Surely it's the promoter's job to get people along to a gig. The perfomer should help because it always better to perform to a full room but the responsibility lies entirely with the promoter.

    When booking acts for Snafu we always tell them exactly how much they'll get before they turn up. Even if they come along and die on their arse we'll still pay them because we've agreed to. We just won't book them again.

    Find it very strange that this doesn't happen with music and bands. Maybe has something to do with the amount of bands looking for gigs.

    Yeh thats fair.
