The original item in this part of the blog has been removed following an agreement as part of an out-of-court settlement with a venue that had been in breach of contract.
The contract was verbal. While we achieved a settlement, it took months of hassle to sort out. Our advice to any band offered a booking by any commercial venue is to get the agreement in writing. If the venue refuses a written contract, don't accept the booking.
