Thread Name: Anyone heard of AMMA (Australia)
Subject: RE: Anyone heard of AMMA (Australia)
No worries UK Singer. Australia isnt just a short drive up the road if you want to have a "discussion" about monies paid or services (allegedly) provided. I'm sure there are plenty of locally based promoters in the UK who can work with you to help get you to where you would like to be.
The logic of the enterprise never made any sense to me: why would someone in the UK or the US or Canada for example, want to send hard earned money to an elusive organisation based in a country that is about as far away as you can possibly get from the mainstream music markets in the Northern Hemisphere? It might make some sense for local artists to consider using their services because at least you have some recourse through Consumer Affairs or similar agencies if you find that you need to have that kind of a discussion but for overseas musicians ? Never!
In the meantime all the best for your career and make sure you spread the "word" about this particular scAMMer to anyone you know in the UK that might even remotely be tempted by any email "offers" from Australia.
Cheers,
