[Thee Alex]

Y'see, the thing is I *wasn't* a promoter and I always made this clear to bands. I feel that I am more a musician who puts on bands when they ask me to....and I would only do it if the band approached me directly, usually through someone who had recommended me to them.

I wasn't into putting gigs on for the money, I didn't make a penny out of most shows I put on (and lost quite a lot when Troika insisted on playing at the Westport Bar - that was the last time I paid out for a gig though).
