discreet Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Looks too good to be true. I wonder how far in you have to go before some kind of fee becomes payable..? Quote
xgsjx Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Aye. I saw that a few weeks back. Never thought anymore of it, but it might be worth investigating. Quote
Happy Jack Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Amazing how big you can make yourself sound on the Internet, ain't it? We have lots of money to give away, you don't need to be any good because we have so many opportunities, in fact far too many to bother actually listing any, and our f***ing enormous super-duper high-quality website is ... erm ... under development just now so you can't see it, but trust us, it'll be massive. I'm sure that 11-year-olds all over the country have been taken in by this tosh ... Quote
Painy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Ah, you're all cynical now but you wait until next year when the Lula Jazz Band are selling out a world tour of arenas and stadiums and you'll be wishing you'd got in on this from the start like they have! Quote

[/quote] I'm reminded of an episode of Bottom in which Richie received a letter (which had actually been sent by Eddie) that simply said "Congratulations! You have been specially selected for this once in a lifetime opportunity to send us £50". I've often wondered how many people would actually go for it if you sent out enough copies. Quote
Stylon Pilson Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Looks to me like a startup website, looking to act as an intermediary service linking those who need musicians with those who are musicians. They know, quite correctly, that their service will only be successful if they have a lot of musicians on their database, so they're trying to get as many names and contact details as possible so that they can sell themselves better. Think of it as a bit like Uber - when they wanted to move into London, they had to spend a lot of time and effort getting a bunch of drivers on their roster before the launch, because they knew that the service would only be a hit if there were plentiful drivers available. That's basically what this site looks like - they're trying to be the Uber for the music industry. S.P. Quote

mike257 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 "Our website is currently under development and will be launched in time for autumn" I mean, they posted this in the second half of October. When does their autumn start? Quote
