Really Annoyed.....Your thought's please!!!!

Being in a band realistically has to fit in with a day job, relationships, families, holidays, other hobbies and a whole lot of other things.

All that anyone who runs a band (and there's very often one main person who runs the diary) needs from his / her band-mates is a fair degree of honesty about when they are available and when they are not.

If someone doesn't block a date off as not available and a gig comes in, then they should do it, unless it is some sort of really pressing reason preventing them from doing so. You have to all be on the same page or there's no point in doing it.
