That's great! Thanks for the reply. So would it be possible for an outside promoter to put on a gig and at the end of the night go around the crowd watching the bands for a donation to cover the bands petrol/sound mans costs etc?

Some comments in this thread reminded me, why the feck does the Crew have a huge Lara Croft in the corner of the room? what possible relevance to ANYTHING does this have?

Where the hell has Sailor Jerrys come from???? I'm sure that a few months ago no one was drinking it, now suddenly every feckers loving it! anyone know a supplier of it? I tried to find some in tescos but they haven't caught onto it yet, guess i'll have to look more underground

You can get it from www.thedrinkshop.com . Has some even better rums on their though, im abit of a connoisseur! Ha.

Mark....

We will pay bands a 'negotiable' fee....usually, this will cover Petrol & a few beers each. We will also provide a 'soundman'; so no, the promoter going round asking for donations would not be suitable....as it wouldn't be at any decent venue. The band will get the agreed sum regardless of the turnout this way.

I beleave that the Venue should pay the band, via an agent/promoter if need be, and the audience, via the beer sales, pays the venue for the band.

Mr. Stuart, Sailor Jerry's has been around for a while, we've been drinking it for years back in 'the old country' (Nottingham)...it is, IMHO one of the better 'spiced' rums available to venues with a brewery tie.

And it's a fooking good night in there too!!
By the way, did you get the amps sorted or are you still using mine?

Yeah, thanx...te amps are working fine now....the problem was the 'sound engineer' rather than the equipment!
