Yep, they have a blog on here.

Just don't see the point of an agent/middle man for local covers, little enough money in it anyway!

Exactly! Fair enough going through an agent if the gig is worth a few hundred quid. This just smacks of opportunism...

These have started advertising recently. I agree, it's a bit - no, a lot - of nerve advertising 8 and 12 months ahead for a gig at £185 less 12.5% commission. I bet they don't get any takers!

Jules, it's Bob, let me know if April 9th is on when you can!

thats way too much money for us LA80 boys .... We dont want paying too much or we shall eat properly and become sluggish and contented... Keep us hungry, edgy and borderline psychotic thats what i say and we would have a deal.
