Got this mail from the barfly...

"Hey guys.

You've booked a gig at the legion in netherton which makes you in breach of our contract with you. You cannot book gigs within 3 weeks of the date of our gig for obvious reasons. If you want to play venues like that boozer with cowboy promoters like gigz then be my guest, but us and other barfly promoters will not work with you and you will not get shows at the barfly supporting bands like This Endless Sea.

You need to cancel that gig straight away in order to play barfly. Please confirm you have done so.

Sam @ Redland Promotions/Barfly"

I replied....

"NOT ARSED."

Another shithead promoter, we won't be playing the barfly anytime soon, not because we'd rather play Netherton, just because we'll play anywhere with anyone, reading this actually makes me want to throw up in my hands, romantic, anyone had anything like this happen to them? iiiidiots.

Nice response.

Oh, I can't Google Image Search just now because of the following:

Access was denied.

Well uh, that's a good a reason as any.

That's very normal and happens all the time. It's a particularly harsh on festivals, but it can be a good thing, cos it means all th festivals don't have the same headliners.

The tone of that email is gay though. Making out like the barfly is good and somehow above other places. They're all completely shite.

I've had similar responses from dickheads before, regarding week night gigs in toilets where chances are no fucker's going to turn up anyway other than people we bring, which makes it all the funnier/pointless. 3 weeks though? I'd go and see a good band twice in 3 weeks!

as far as i know (being an ex-Barfly employee) Sam isn't a promoter at Barfly in Liverpool. The manager there is a close friend of mine too. I could actually be wrong in this tho. Easy enough to find out.

Sounds like a local boy trying to be out of his depth here. Definitely has no bearing on other Barfly bookings anywhere in the country so ignore that bit.
