Creamfields Have Not Paid Me!!!

[davethedrummer]

well i sent them the last pleasant ( ish ) email today
last chance ....etc etc ....

from now in it'll be legal and demanding
i signed with the polish so not much chance of getting money out of them
but it might be possible to annoy the english side so much that they just sort me out to get me out of their hair.

frank kvitta played with me that night at cream
and i met him again this weekend in austria.

so i asked him what happened to him and this is what he told me.

he asked and asked all night on the ( soaking wet ) site until finally someone took notice and told him to hang on.
so he did, until the end of the event. ( 2 hours after his set finished )

and finally after more confusion and phone calls
they tracked down the guy with the cash
who paid him, in polish zloty.

of course frank was expecting euros
and it meant he had to change it at the airport and he lost a fair bit in the exchange. ( 50 euros down he said )

but the main thing is
this is cream, a big organization ,
and they didn't have money ready for him , they must've paid him from the door takings ( which i was told they were still waiting for 2 weeks ago ! another lie !)

and paying a DJ in zloty is really unprofessional of them don't you think?
but at least he got his money right?

truth is , if he hadn't really hassled he would be in the same boat as me
and i'm only here because they paid me last year so i trusted them.

well
next thing is the legal route
and of course the internet
when i have a little spare time this week i'll hit the forums and the blogs
it'll go nowhere i know but i have to do something

frank said he wouldn't play for them again,
and i'll talk to tina at knee deep to warn her too.

perhaps I can persuade people to sign a petition
or something like that


what a palarver !

well ...good news

I got a phone call from cream UK
and they said thats it's all been sorted

No idea if it was because i threatened solicitors
and general internet/magazine slagging
Or if they just decided to do it anyway.
and no idea if the UK people paid or the polish ( i don't care anyway )

I'm still waiting for the money to actually show up in my account
( it was sent thursday/ yesterday )
but the phone call sounded genuine so fingers crossed.

thanks to all of you for your support
it's really helped havng a fairly discreet place ( by internet standards )
to come and sound off, and some of your advice was very useful.
and cheers for the offers of running articles about it etc..
it's nice to know there is a network of people who do actually look out for each other.

it's all about respect isn't it?
and there's plenty of that here obviously.

nice one peeps

Yeah, well it should never have gone this far in the first place, especially with an organisation as big as cream. Cream uk should have paid you themselves (out of goodwill if anything) and then taken it up with their polish outfit.

I take it you wont be offering your services to them again?
