HipflaskAndy Contract Riders (folk musicians) (72* d) RE: Contract Riders (folk musicians) 12 Feb 09


Even being the part-timers that we are (The Duncan McFarlane Band)
...we have been asked to provide our 'rider' for a major Folk Fest!
It being a summer fset, we merely asked that there would be some bottled water available!!!

..but I do seem to remember, one time, being offered, and subsequently well fed by, a slap-up meal at Faldingworth! - Thanks Villan!

Funny, though....
Having close contact with one particular Fest-Organiser, I have actually knowledge of an extravagant rider
presented on behalf of one VERY well-known pro band for our wee local fest!
Extraordinary demands! - particular stipulations for large amounts of wine and spirits, for one thing!
Thing was - he and I both know a member of that band, and asked him about the 'rider'.
It seems their 'agent/management makes the demands - the band knew nothing of its extent!
Funny, that!
