i dont know 100% myself, and i know i have made mistakes in my past myself, but have a read and tell me where this is wrong



1. promotors that put on touring bands, dont find out whether they are ok with sharing backline
(This happens alot to bands which is ashame, and can cause problems)

2. get arsey when they aren't
(would you like your equipment ruined?)

3. dont find said band a place to stay
(this will piss them off alot, if you cant get them a place..find someone who can or pay them extra and make sure they know before hand)


4. dont feed the band
(your an idiot if you dont , try be fair, if they have traveled a stupid ammount of miles spend £2-3 on them for even stovies)

5. spend so much money on a 'rider' for the band that they don't have any money to pay them, when they could have just made a pot of chilli for 2 quid out of tescos

6. promotors who only promote local bands as a wee earner
( this one fucks me off most, and i must admit when younger i thought this was okay. pay to play also fucks me off alot)

7. reviewers should review touring band gigs and the local support, because simply reviewing local bands is not going to get them recognised

8. bands get payed what was agreed, if its too much, negotiate before the gig, or don't put it on

9. if you don't make enough on the door, it comes out your own pocket

now i also understand ..crowd in Dundee is a complete joke kids saying yeah i love the band..then dont show, well try explain to band sort something out always try pay them as much as you physically can! , i know i've had to and many others have ask : Claymore (sabunation) Paul_engage and of course Gav_revolt.


10. bands don't wanna stay in party houses
(alot of bands are soo tired , they just want to rest. give them the chance, if they want to party i'm sure they would say! )
