Off Topic I'm Done With Wumming

He's not called Attention, mate, you've got the wrong person

 

Which one ?

 

We don’t let punters interrupt our flow, Sweats. Our keyboardist threw one lad in the river for taking liberties.

 

I am done with wumming.

Why won’t you let me move on?

 

Because you’ve said it before and not kept your word.

 

Coming from the twat who posts multiple ****e threads...

 

It’s not about what we charge, it’s about what venues pay.

 

I’m not a tw(a)t you bellend, I’ve barely posted a thread this week.

 

Stop the bullying Matthew

 

It’s true this time.

Give me time.

 

Was it a New Years resolution? Keep up the good work, champ.

 

They’ve got a website mate, the Other Guys Bournemouth will find it.

 

I’m not bullying.

 

Not in my experience. We tell the venue what we charge and then negotiate from there. The only gigs where there's a set fee are the big festivals where there are lots of bands and the organisers have got a set payment structure. Maybe it's different for you, but we wouldn't do it for £300, unless like I said it was in a mate's barn for a party.

 

lIke you and you're ****ing ******ed videos?

you pigeon faced, egg headed, billy idol no job ****

 

TBH, I'm not sure how and why you charge what you do, but HIAG is closer to the mark with what typical pub bands charge. I am friendly with the landlord of a local venue that books bands all through the year and the typical costs are between £300-£400. The only time it gets anywhere near 4 figures is a New Year's Eve gig?
Obviously the pro outfits charge more, but as HIAG has said previously, you pay to see them.

 

The gigs we play are ticketed so the venue are pulling in money from the door and from bar sales. We're not a pub band, so we don't play gigs where people stroll in and out for free. They are there because they've paid to be there. Also there are 8 members of our band, so our fee is based roughly on everybody earning £100 each from the gig, but as I've said we tend to pay the Singer and our soundman, and the rest goes into the pot to pay for rent on the studio and to maintain equipment and to cover people's fuel costs.

 

piskie play to old vegrables.
hiag play to old vegarables.

telt yers for years...these 2 are partners.

they just play out a false game, bitchin

 

You pissed again mate ?

 

Then you're comparing chalk and cheese mate, which is what HIAG alluded to the other day when we had a similar conversation. I also know the owner of a local venue that won't book bands that play in pubs because he charges an entrance fee. He believes that he offers a more professional setup with a sound man etc. and charges accordingly. He says that he can't charge punters on a Saturday, if they have played a pub without an entrance fee the week before.
