Yeah I hear that the other Free Fringe people are much better. We checked them out too and we would have been happy to pay for the advertising with them cos it looks well done and professional. I think it's the same thing with photographers too. Definitely. We have some lovely shots of our band, but they were done by students at the college who offered us free photos in exchange for us being models for their college project. This was fair enough. Even though we're definitely not well off musicians, we would rather give people a small amount of money for doing something rather than let everyone be out of pocket.
It just gets irritating in this country when people expect to get something for nothing and then complain and start being petty when people aren't willing to lick their arses in the process.
We're getting a FaceBook group and campaign thing going on line where Musicians can all share their experiences and discuss plans of action to change attitudes. We are also thinking of doing a name and shame list for the venues that really take the piss.
