"The ones that brass me off are the ones who can't bring themselves to say no, and just end up wasting time for both parties."

Absolutely on the button - Hamish.

The ones who say we might book you, and never get back, drive me nuts. A simple polite no, or not at this time, ..... or even yes - ok! - is much better.

And good luck to Paul - it's not easy jumping on the phone and chasing gigs - god I should know.

Look forward to bumping into you soon Hamish.
