Morning gang,
I'm not associated with any band at the moment but dep with as many as possible and with one band have had plenty of work of them over the ast few months and in the months coming up.
I have had a selection of dates in the diary since February and if you are like me that means they are in the diary and if anything else comes in you can't do it.
I got a message from the drummer i am covering asking if he could take back his gigs on this coming weekend and I'm not sure what to do.
He has said i can have a different weekend next month as a replacement but I really need that money that I had budgeted in to pay rent and eat!!! (this month has been an expensive one!)
My main issue is the last minute nature of it and that I have turned down other work as I had these dates in the diary.
I know this is against all the unwritten rules and if I had turned round at short notice and said I am not doing the gig anymore they'd be pissed as well but I'm in a position of not being able to give up the gigs as I need the money but not wznting to annoy both the drummer and band leader at the risk of losing the other work I have in the diary at the moment.
What is the groups opinions on this and also how would you approach it.
Dave
