Hello friends,

This is Andre, promoter of the Circuito techno parties in Brasil.

Just thought I could drop a quick message to tell something about Claude Young.

We had him booked for our third anniversary party, which will happen on October 23rd here in Brasil.

The contracts were signed three months ago, and the airplane ticket was sent in August.

Two weeks ago, Claude cancelled, with no explanation. I spoke to him, and he demanded to fly on another airline. I cancelled the first ticket, which was on Air France, and reserved him a British Airways flight (that cancellation cost me over 400 dollars).

Last Friday, Claude e-mailed me personally, and said he would be coming to Brasil.

Since then, he told his agent he changed his mind and was not coming anymore. But he never wrote me. He didn´t collect his ticket and didn´t apply for his visa. He simply dissapeared.

We have been promoting this gig for over two months. It would have been Claude´s first visit to Brasil, and we were all very anxious to see this legendary performer.

Now, unfortunately, things have changed. We really have no desire to have him playing for us. His contempt and disrespect for our audience has left us dumbfounded. This has caused us a reasonable financial loss, not to count personal stress.

We were lucky enough to book James Ruskin for this gig to replace Mr. Young. I´m sure it will be a great gig.

Best,
Andre
