Sept 30th, Reading Rooms. WTF is happening???

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 02:23 PM

It appears that Babyshambles are booked to play the night that was previously booked for Q Without U, Lipsick!, Findo Gask and FMM.

What is going on??

Gowans · 16th August 2004, 03:03 PM

wouldnt u be better actually phoneing the reading rooms perhaps

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 03:19 PM

No, I think it is better to post here so the promoter of the show can answer.

Ge'd · 16th August 2004, 04:58 PM

I think Babyshambles have priority over us.

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 05:17 PM

But why should that be? The venue should honour the bookings made. If the gig we are supposed to be playing was booked before then any venue with any sense of right and wrong would honour it and tell the Babyshambles booking agent that the 30th wasn't available.

To have the gig hijacked by a fucked up junkie is not cool.

seonaid · 16th August 2004, 06:19 PM

exactly why i'm refusing to go

love the libertines but pete's in a state where you'd be as well giving the money to a beggar in dundee

the tickets 12.50 without the booking fee

that's possibly why your gig's been cancelled

Lovecat · 16th August 2004, 06:28 PM

Its all money moeny money.

But Â£12.50, alot of Felt goers left out in the cold I suspect.

i wonder how many of the people that moaned about this girl/x is loaded being Â£6.50 will moan about this,i would like to see him but i have better things to spend 12.50 on

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 08:02 PM

I especially like the way we have all been told that the gig is cancelled....oh, wait, no one seems to have mentioned anything to the bands......

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 08:03 PM

Also, Â£12.50?? Get to fuck! I wouldn't spend that to see a band at the Caird Hall!! I am guessing the majority of Felt regulars won't be there.....I am guessing a lot of people looking to get some 'trade' out of Pete *will* be there

Yes, apparently this is the case. I'm no longer allowed to book gigs at the rooms also, so if someone wants to take this gig on then it would be amazing. Sorry to all concerned, there was nothing I could do. I wouldn't blame the venue though, these things just happen sometimes.

Thee Alex · 16th August 2004, 10:12 PM

What happened then? You are no longer allowed to book gigs there??? Scott, there seems to be more to this story than you are letting on and it would be polite to at least let the bands know what has happened and why.

Due to a number of bad coincidences within the band, which started with personal problems, then people not having credit on phones and people thinking other people would do the
