What happens when we say YES to booking a Band and / or
Caller?
Once all the finer details have been discussed and agreed, I confirm the
booking in writing. All Bands, Callers and agents all have their own particular
way of confirming bookings. Some bands are happy with only a verbal agreement,
but for the sake of all parties, I really believe it’s best to put
everything in writing. When I confirm a booking for my own band JIGABIT or
for any other band, I send out a detailed confirmation letter and one or
two clear, but detailed Agreement Booking Forms for you to approve, complete,
sign and return to me. You keep the letter (and make a copy of the forms
if you wish), and then everyone has something in writing. If it’s an “agent
booking” for another band, the band also gets a copy of the completed
signed form.
I am always willing to provide the band or Callers’ contact details
so you can speak directly to them nearer the date. Such things as timings
and format are often unclear when making a booking a long time ahead, so
this is the kind of thing you can discuss directly with the band closer to
the date. (However, please note that not all agents will provide a band’s
contact details, expecting you to direct any questions through their agency.)
I ask for maps for the venue to be sent back with the booking forms, along
with a deposit or booking fee to secure the date. Bookings are subject to
a cancellation clause and an overtime clause, along with a number of other
terms and conditions clearly stated in the confirmation paperwork.
Once I have received the completed booking forms and deposit from you, then
the booking is definite and confirmed. Only serious illness or accident on
the day would prevent things happening as agreed, and then the band, caller
or myself would do our utmost to find a replacement person.
All you then need to do is turn up and leave the rest to the band and Caller!
