If in the agreement it stated - Artist to provide backline and 'breakables', what would you think you had to provide and take to the venue?
Well I thought, amps, guitars etc and drum accessories. The venue we were supposed to be playing on Saturday actually now expects us to take a full kit and the PA! No problem about the kit but supply the PA for an aftershow party at a festival?
The promoter seems a bit miffed that we have cancelled at short notice (as they wont supply the rig) but the truth is we would never have agreed if PA support wasn't provided and it was certainly implied in the agreement.
I tried to explain what their agreement stated but they seem oblivious and reckon everyone else has turned up with a kit and a PA in the past? I wonder if bands just carry around a spare rig on the off chance? By the way, we were only getting paid £200!
Anybody else had problems with "promoters"?
