Mmmmm - posted this before but I can't see it now - I'll put it down to Gremlins or operator error:-) May not be exact bit along the lines off -

I would agree entirely with Blowzabella that no professional artist has had a go at club organisers but conversely no professional organiser has had a go at artists either:-) There has been rather unprofessional comments from parties on both sides if you look back over the thread though. Rather than get stuck on this point though can we get on with the business of sorting out between us what to do about it?

I am quite fortunate in that the landlord at the club I run is kind enough to let has have the room for another night. I hope I am doing my bit to redress the balance by having concerts where the artist does have more input over the door charge and format, as well as the standard night, where we do the 100% of the door at standard charge. It worked very well with the Boat Band (I hope! Greg Stephens should be able to confirm that) I will start a new thread to see if we get any takers for future ones - Hope George will take us up on it eventualy.

Lets get on with fixing things instead of blaming other people for breaking them!

Cheers
