The Banner hindley stikes again

Filed Under : Rants

Posted By : Idle Promise | Comments : 24

Cancelled this morning for Friday why leave it so late

We queried this booking ages ago and Bob from Guns or Roses kindly mentioned it and said everything was OK as far as The Banner were concerned. Now she rings to cancel this morning saying the posters we sent last week had reminded her. Seeing as she had all the trouble before and we confirmed everyhing with her you would have thought that she could have given more then 2 days notice. I suggest anyone booked here confirms with her again or looks elsewhere.

What was the reason for cancelling?

Just curious.

The same as before she can only have bands on every other week so why that hadnt come to her attention I dont know. Especially after we had checked with her

That's the worst excuse I've ever heard, can she not go through the diary and note every other week as NO BAND?

I agree and I had already struck it out of our diary when she cancelled all bands before and then she said no we hadnt been cancelled we were one of the every other week bands. Now it appears we are on the wrong week. Absolutely useless

It really pisses me off to see this type of disrespect from a venue...and only 2 days notice, hardly gives you time to arrange another gig does it. Yet again band gets dropped like s**t, just imcompetent and unacceptable.

Hope you sort a gig out.
Deano.

Absolutely Discraceful Nigel.

Be careful 45's i said that once and now my arsehole has healed over

if the bookings are every two weeks THE WET FISH GROOVERS should check there date on the11th june, because it dosent work out there is a band on the week before

it seems what happened is that she booked a load of bands around the start of the year, then scrubbed them all, then started booking bands fortnightly but got the two diarys confused etc. Ive no idea when were playing there if at all !!

# Posted by 45's - 05/05/2010, 16:44 (GMT)

Posted by Sticky Fingers - hahahahaha !

@ whatever- "At least you weren't stood outside like us last week at another venue"
hey, c'mon, aiden-look on the bright side,dude-there are people who would pay for the privelege of standing around in "bamford" without being moved on by the police as "undesirables"! (they move them on to norden!!)!! :-D
