A crap drummer who is also ill must be a nightmare 😀😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It maybe a bit different on the originals punk circuit, but if we ever have to pull out of a gig we`ll contact bands we know and put them in touch with the promoter. What they agree amongst themselves is their business, if they get more well done to their negotiating power. If they get less, well practice a bit harder (that remark said in jest btw).

Lozz, you're WAY too diplomatic to be a punk. Everyone should practise harder. Or not at all. Edited January 1, 2018 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing you let the pub know you are unable to to the gig , i dont think its down to you to find a replacement band , let alone stump up extra cash to entice another band to take the gig , although , fair play to your guitarist for finding a replacement band .

Bluewine Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I had the flue on NYE, nauseous, weak and congested. I played the gig. I know it was stupid, but I live by what Buddy Rich once told his band. " If you breathing your playing" Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - and I do think it was presumptuous of your guitarist to believe that everyone in the band would be happy to pay the extra money he decided to offer the replacement band. I really would not be happy about that and would let the guy know - if it were me. Personally I would have contacted the venue to let them know there was a problem as soon as the band knew. Then offered the landlord to help find a replacement, and if no luck then so be it, you've done all you can (or at least be expected to do).
