"From: GUEST,SonOfShlomo - PM Date: 07 May 07 - 09:57 PM How about a group being asked to play for X number of hours and X pay, then being told (after they played for AN EXTRA HOUR at the crowd's request): "Sorry we didn't make enough money to pay you all tonight; have a Coke on us from the cooler on the way out."
Utterly indefensible, but ultimately impossible to deal with, except perhaps by advertising their activities as widely as possible.
This should prevent other performers being caught out, and, with luck starve the venue of entertainment and put it out of business, a well deserved outcome.
