I've never heard of 'negotiating' a tour before. Does this mean noone wants to put you on and you have to try and convince them its worth it?

What is there to negotiate?
Well there is sponsorships, funding, press coverage, other touring bands, venues, promotion, travel, accomodation and where we can get drugs!
Over 30 dates are being discussed for the tour it's not a case of turn up to a couple of shite holes in England play support to some local twats then come back up the road
We have never stated that we are great that is a preconception by yourself because of our confidence. If you don't have confidence in yourself then who well? The management that you seem to have dressed up like a bloody M&M?

It makes all the difference, to get hundreds of miles away from home in the largest city on our island, play in front of hundreds of people and they say that what you're doing is amazing. Better than getting a gig in Dunfermline and people thinking you're shit. There are hundreds of venues in London and we knock back loads of them cause all they want is money through the door of there pish little boozer in Walford Square. London is all about opportunity, but you got to get to the right places with the right people. We played the Astoria in front of over 1000 strangers and now have been asked down by Alan McGee to play for him in a showcase night. That's the difference
