Number6 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I believe these venues are the Comedy Pub and St Moritz Club. My band has gigs in March, April and early June there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Ah, the Comedy. The only gig I did where not only were the originals bands not paid (which is fairly common) but were told (just before going on stage) that we had to pay £5 per amp if we wanted to use the back line we were told would be provided for us. How we laughed! Edited March 9, 2016 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The promoters name is Mark and we played at the St Moritz club last Friday. We got paid, not a lot but we did get paid which is more to be said then most clubs. It was a great night though. Good crowd for an originals show.

[/quote] Yep Mark, that's the guy that contacted us through our FB page. We don't need to be paid too much but it's nice to cover costs.

ivansc Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Doesnt mention a PA being provided. I would rather stick all but bass through the PA with preamps - at least you know what you are getting. Back in the day we used to get pennies playing support in london pubs on the Toilet Circuit, which was then paid to the sound guy with the main band. Once you rose through the ranks, the money wasn`t bad. That was in the days of the Hope, the Nashville Rooms, the Greyhound, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
