[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1362606922' post='2002191'] That's a good going rate then! 99% of the promoters I've dealt with round Portsmouth way ALL operate on the idea that bands should only be paid for the amount of people they bring. Which is where the issue lays! [/quote] We fix the fee in £ based on the 60% of door revenue and contract to it. It is then up to the promoter to get enough punters in...that's their job - that's what promoting is eg Capacity 300 ticket price £10 we ask for (and get) £1800 plus expenses. The promoter than has to ensure he sells enough tickets.

LEDs are only worth putting along the top edge side dots. Number of strings is irrelevant.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1362605980' post='2002168'] Our festival rate isn't that much lower [/quote] Festivals should be double other gigs as promoter has more income and less expenditure per act.

Ask promoter what ticket price. What is venue capacity. Calculate door revenue from this. Ask for 60% plus expenses. That's what we do.

My tone on Flats Warmoth P body/ Jazz neck XL Chromes and a John East P-retro..... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6OJxHVRqVA[/media] I only ever use flats - easier on my fingers. Rounds are just too clangy

Feb 23 Brussels Towers Art gallery......thought it was a nice band shot

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1362403120' post='1999174'] It's not great if you want to practise your drum sounds, [/quote] but could be good if you want to try drum replacement Edit; having listened to it I think that is a big ask and I'm not sure my ears could stand it for long

Not last night but last Saturday night 23rd Feb.....we played at Towers Art Gallery in Brussels. Gig was good, sold out which is always good. We played a 2hr 20minute set!!!! I had a little accident with my spaghetti turning down the output volume on my compressor which has prompted me to build a proper pedal board rather than rely on loose pedals in spaghetti. Apart from that, and the odd mistake, a good time was had by all. Here's a couple of vids: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6OJxHVRqVA[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhGdusdBkj0[/media]

+1 for RME I use an HDSP9632 PCI card....love it

So did you license all those video clips? If not I feel the lawyers will come knocking....

Only just seen this thread.....would've liked to give it a go...is this something that happens every month?

Personally my band would have ceased to be were it not for illegal downloading. The internet and file sharing kept the interest in my band alive for years adn now we have reformed as a result. I view it as a free marketing opportunity more than anything else.

Maxda 6 Estate for me....I am used as the band taxi to the airport, 4 band members, bass in flight case, flightcased guitar x 2, flightcased keyboard, flightcased saxaphone, cymbal case, drum pedal case and luggage for 4 fits without difficulty. The other chap always gets a taxi coz he lives miles away anyway.

I have been in bands with Tristan Garel-Funk and a chap called simply Garce...I dunno if it's done us any favours to be honest

I would prefer to have the drummer on my right (ie be on the left as we look out - so I can hear the hihat) but we ALWAYS set up the other way round and I end up on the right, behind the keyboard....the guitarist doesn't share sight lines with the keyboardist....
