not getting paid properly at gigs

[rhythmtech]

and b4 anyone thinks im being a "diva"

i have played many many times for nothing but transport (and i've done so for quite a few people on this board.

i've turned down the full amount from promoters just so that we could ALL leave with a bit of cash in our pockets.

i've played many gigs for a lot less than i should just so a promoter can pay a hefty fee for a headline dj..

and i've no problem doing this because the people i do it for a) treat me well on other occasions - b) wont let me buy a drink if im doing them a favour and c) make sure all my costs are covered and make sure that im not out of pocket for helping them out..


but last night was a complete and utter pisstake. :whoops:


anyway big shouts out to the artists that have to take a cut in their wages because of shoddy promoters.. i've played gigs with a good few of you.. you know who you aer and you deserve respect for keeping a level head..

and a big shout out to all you promoters that treat your artists good.. you know who you are.

the rest of you chancers can **** right off.. if making money off the back of someone elses work is all you care about then you have no place on our scene.
