Chris: re your reply to my point about attendances not being my problem when offered no pay becoz of disappointing night: I know about current financial climate, and was talking about well in the past when I used to do gigs, 15-30+ years ago: before websites {if an obviously young person like you can believe there ever was such a time!} – I am now 77 and don't get around much any more! But I would still urge Kosmo to pay what has been promised as a matter of honour, and never to make a poor attendance an excuse to attempt not to do so. A club which can only afford the fee agreed if enough people have turned up on that particular evening is a club that is not being efficiently run: that sort of hand-to-mouth·ery is not efficient in any line of biznis.
