Fibber Magee's Wants your band - PAYING GIGS (6 Viewers)

[Atillathebum]

Hang on a minute man, I need something made clear to me here, You're saying if I draw a crowd on a Wednesday night I can play on Saturday for cash? But what if my band are utter shite but I still bring a hundred heads with me? I grew up playing battle of the bands where crowd response won you the gig and shit bands with loads of friends always won, what I'm saying is, Can we show up on a Wednesday with no crowd and attempt to blow the existing crowd away and if we do would you give us a gig on a Saturday on the grounds that we're really good as opposed to just bringing a mob of boozehounds us? Are you looking for talented bands or bog standard ones with lots of friends?

we regularly pick-pocket bands that play lazybird.

My promise to you is that if your band has a million fans and are complete and utter shite then you won't get near the stage in the first place. Sustainability requires quality.

My band gets paid not to play.

I'd like to know what Fibber Magee himself has to say on this matter - not one of his internet lackies

you fool, Fibber has been dead for years, but rumour it that his head was frozen and buried under the beer garden with the understanding that, once the technology allows, he will be reanimated!

That's good enough for me. I just can't stomach any more shit bands. I'd happily do time to remove them from my path. Will be in touch about playing. .|..|

You can never trust a fibber. A well known lying mentaller told me that once and I have never remembered it until now. Amen.

One million students? That's like 250 pints. You cant turn down that kind of business on credibility grounds.

We once played at a fight in The Clifton Court, standing up on top of our amps. Was a deadly laugh until someone got bottled and a teenage girl started screaming at us to stop

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Yeah, so is the fucking beer garden still open?

Nope. i think it's apartments now. However, there's another beergarden out the other side, spilling out into a car park.

our lowest point was playing one of those gigs in town and not selling enough tickets... and then having to go outside and get 50 quid off my dad to pay for the unsold tickets...

jesus. that was a nightmare *shudder*

 

[Buzzo]

Aren't drinks promotions like that illegal now?

Boneyard Witch should go for this.

aye my dad had to bail my old band out the baggot inn back in the day. i wouldn't mind but we had a good few punters in.

was in fibbers in february. it smelled pretty bad. don't get me wrong, i learned to drink in fibbers, and indeed i have played there, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. but this idea was pitched rather ham-fistedly by Thomas Brunkered. its the same old story, the venue is not supporting live music, it's taking advantage of it.

 

[Vinnie]

And that sums it up perfectly.

How much does Thomas Brunkard pay for people to come to his house?

Haha I wish I could pinpoint our lowest point

Haha I wish I could pinpoint our lowest point

been back to aidan walshes flat for tea?

 

[MDR]

Apparently Fosters pay €100 to have their taps at Fibbers on a Wednesday and then if they sell enough pints, Fibbers will start stocking it at the weekends.

And I can't believe the Government doesn't do something about bands not marketing themselves - this isn't Russia you know.

Unfortunately I think my lowest point is still ahead of me.
