[quote name='Bidd' post='990055' date='Oct 16 2010, 11:43 AM']I've spoke to the promoter and apparently he won't claim liability for damage caused by any other bands (or the venue staff)...
Also I have to wait around for 2 hours after my gig so I can collect it, and have to get their early so the opening band can get set up...
The promoter didn't even said thank you on the phone.[/quote]
For these three reasons alone -- and especially the first -- absolutely not. The promoter can hire one, or he can guarantee indemnity, or he can do a running jump.
Have you tried the old "you can use my amp if I can use your girlfriend/wife/daughter" line on him?
