Thanks guys

Actually FORM in the nearly 6 years i have been playing i haven't had any problems playing for free IF THE PROMOTER ORGANISES IT WITH ME BEFOREHAND. But when you're promised a certain (and relatively small) amount of money you expect the other person to stay true to their word. As far as I know this whole thing has been sorted out and I will be getting paid. All I think is owed to me and my girlfriend now is an apology for the abuse she has had to put up with while I'm out of town.

Sorry your board has been polluted with politics once again.

Word up the politics in this phuckin scene are just whak...
I refuse to play'em if I've got something to say I bloody well say it.
Other than that I play when I'm booked, have a blast and let the promoters deal with peoples shit.
Why can't this be simple?
I play my timeslot......I get paid......I have fun.....Then I go home
Seems simple enough to me but it just never seems to work out that way....

Unfortunately I don't know all angles of the story so i'm in the dark with soggy match and a burnt out candle. I understand your frustration when it come to a botched payment especially when the amount is deemed affordable. As for payment, there really shouldn't be an excuse. Last time I checked, records were not free, so why should they be played for free? I've been stiffed several times and i think it's a weak gesture on the promoters part. I firmly believe that promoters should have a dj budget regardless of what transpires that evening. In all the cases where payment has been short, forgotten or delayed i've always waited it out. I know if nothing ever comes through I'll never offer my services again or recommend them.

As for the verbal stuff, i think that's taking it too far. There's no need for a verbal assault.

I think it's important for a dj to ask for a deposit prior to the engagement. As for solid production companies, if twisted/Swing Kids ever book you don't worry about it. There are still a handful of companies out there that follow through with the agreement.

I hope my original post wasn't read the wrong way.
