HARLEY BENTON

there's always a few smart arses ready to shoot anyone down in flames.!! the boys have made a fair bit of money to date and are only trying to do the right thing by protecting any future release of songs the former member had a hand in, you never know what lies ahead.

hi all, we have a band member leaving us but wants a lum sum payout rather than royalties and future earnings. a band agreement was in the making but was not signed so we have agreed a sum with him but want him to sign a disclaimer stating that no future attempt will be made by him to claim royalties or stake a claim to the music. is there any documents i could download or copy as i have tried to draft a letter but don't know how to word it. any help would be gratefully recieved thanks in advance.

proud father.

hey guys thanks for all the feedback, here's a bit about the band. formed in aug 08 aged 15. started doing gigs in april 09. played turriff academy, turriff youth centre (3 times), fraserburgh community centre, youthshine 09 at thainstone, oxjam 09 at the tunnels (twice), lemon tree nov 09 at a battle of the bands at which they won 1000 and are at captain toms this week recording. once they new stuff is done they will update their web pages and start actively seeking gigs. they are very good imho but their webpages let them down a bit, the video's do not reflect how good they are now and the three tracks they have were done at a local studio in april 09. the new stuff should reflect how far they have come and how talented they are. the tracks on bebo will not play for some reason but will play on myspace. anyfeedback will be welcome. cheers bebo.com - Profile from Engraved Metal <Engravedmetal616> Engraved on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

i see what you mean,the management company looks extremely dodgy. if you had your own money to do uk tours etc then you wouldn't need a manegement company! and kiddo 360 well the less said the better.

i know but they're young lads with lots of ambition and a very strong desire to make it.

it's just something the band want to do, exposure i guess. 2 mins is a bit shitty but i guess it's just to see if your any good. this is taken from the website Live And Unsigned MAIN PRIZES There are two fantastic main prizes for the overall winner of the competition.

engraved, a metal group from turriff will be tavelling to glasgow for their audition at live and unsigned. the audition will last all of two minutes!! just wondering if any other local bands will be there or if the distance would put you off entering. when i asked the organisers about why glasgow was the only venue in scotland i was told it was because they wouldn't get enough bands entering further north. what's your thoughts on this view, have they got it wrong or are they just not interested in the talent in scotland?

true? i stayed in a hotel at the weekend and since the wife and kids were with me i asked the receptionist if the porn channels were disabled. she said no there normal porn you sick bastard
