skidder652003 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Some bloke emailed me today saying he's having a spot of bother getting a band for his bash on the 20th Jan in the States. Wanted to know if we were available and how much and would we reflect that if he flew us over and put us up? Result! Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Is it someone you know, or just a random? Quote
anzoid Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Well done! Time to check you've got enough months left on your passport and no exotic woods in your bass Quote
ambient Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I thought he'd settled for having a karaoke ? Edited January 10, 2017 by ambient Quote
skidder652003 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1484067067' post='3212392'] I suspect it's a scam. I think it's been mentioned on here before. Why would he want to fly you all the way over there ? Wouldn't it be far, far, far cheaper to hire an American band ? [/quote] struggling to get one for some reason.... Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Is it in Milwaukee, by any chance? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Why would it be a scam?, even Nigerian princes living in the States have birthday partys requiring a band! Quote

threedaymonk Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Make sure he pays you up front: he has a bit of a reputation. Quote

skb558 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I'd heard he'd got a Little Feat tribute band to play...'Little Hands' Quote
Bassman Sam Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Make sure Just Another Brick In The Wall is in your setlist. Quote
