Where you playing and on what day? The bar fly have that policy. Tell them to fuck off as it's stupid.

If the sound man isn't there when you turn up then you want double money.

High Wycombe, White Horse, Friday night 19/06
We've got a sound man if necessary, but it'd be nice for him to just be a guitarist.

They should have an in house. If not then call them up and ask them why.
Basically places ask you to get there very early as they know what bands are like with being late. If you're on last then you'll soundcheck first, but for 3 bands that's rediculous. We were asked once to get to The Bar Bly as we were headlining for 2pm! We were going on at 11pm. We got there, no one about so we just drank and said to put it on the promoters tab.

Stay away from RW Concerts if you get approached. Offers you big gigs but the guy is a double cunt. Hasn't got a clue how to put on a rock night. Right little billy bullshitter.

Isn't the White Horse a strip club?

It is, a terrible one
but it's been in the gig market for years, so it's paid it's dues. Ta for all the info, chappy. We do about 4 or 5 gigs a year (always writing) so we don't see the light of day often...

a gig is a gig :)

I've played some right rough places in my time. We usually gig about 30 times a year once we get up and running. But we are starting to only do the good gigs now as we can't be fucked to drive to shit places.

Playing Hell's Angels parties/ Chop n Rod and stuff now that will be interesting :)

The problem is one of us is a barman, and one of us is a chef
two jobs not conducive to being free every Friday and Saturday night. That also doesn't help... :D

bah :)
Having a job and gigging is a massive pain in the butt. you can understand why most people are young when they make it because they've got the time to do it :)

Exactly
but it's still fun as a hobby.

I used to work behind the bar there and they had an inhouse sound guy
That was about 5 years ago though, so might have changed since then.

The last time I went there was about 6ish years ago
Do you remember a band called vertibreak playing? Lead singer was a dready guy, they supported Skindred?
