A
'WARNING' TO ALL OTHER BANDS AND PROMOTERS. THIS YEAR ALONE AFTER TAKING TWO BOOKINGS WE HAVE HAD A FOLLOW UP CALL
TO CANCEL THE GIG LUCKLY WE MANAGED TO FILL THE DATES THEN FIND OUT LATER THAT THEY HAVE'NT CANCELLED AFTER ALL.
SO NOW I WOULD JUST PHONE THE ORIGINAL PROMOTER UP TO CHECK IF ITS TRUE OR NOT.
SOME NASTY SNEAKY JEALOUS PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE WHO LIKE TO DESTROY WHAT OTHER PEOLE HAVE. WE HAVE SEEN NOW
FOR A FEW YEARS THAT PEOPLE DONT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK TOGETHER. THEY WILL OPEN UP THEIR OWN CLUB THINKIN THEY CAN DO BETTER
THEN SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT BY PUTTING ON A GIG IN THE SAME AREA ON THE SAME NIGHT JUST A DIFFRENT CLUB. [THATS CLEVER]
DONT YOU REALIZE YOU PEOPLE THAT IN THE END WE ALL SUFFER BANDS' DJs' CLUBS' ROCK 'N' ROLLERS. LETS WORK
TOGETHER THAT WAY WE CAN ALL ENJOY MANY MORE ROCKIN GIGS.
MORE NEWS SOON AND DETAILS
