| Booking Terms For Artists
What happens when you play at events through this agency (If you are a customer, please click here for client booking terms and conditions). All bookings are based on industry standards as provided by the Musician's Union and other organisations. Full terms and conditions are released with every booking contract, which you will have the opportunity to read through before signing to signify your consent. You and the client are both required to sign and return your contracts to the agency before the event/booking can be confirmed. The only exception is if the client pays the full fee in advance, in which case s/he does not need to sign and return their contract. But the artist still needs to return his/her contract in order to get paid for their attendance at the event. No work will be allocated to you until we have received a signed contract from you. If you wish to accept a booking appointment that is offered to you, you will need to sign and return the contract or it will be offered to someone else whom the client chooses. How work is allocated If a customer wants to book you, we will tell you straight away. You will consequently get a contract from us to sign and return and will later ask you to call or email the client to introduce yourself and to discuss the finer details of the event. At that point onwards, you are dealing with the client directly, from a practical point of view. Cancellations - If the artist needs to cancel Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in reallocating work for you when you ask us to, and this is accepted as occasionally necessary. However, if you consistently withdraw from multiple contracts over time, you may be removed from our databases. If you sign a contract but later need to withdraw for any reason whatsoever, we require 28 days notice in order to reallocate the booking to another guitarist. If you give less than 28 days notice, you will be charged a cancellation fee of £45.00 which will be deducted from your next contract. If you fail to show on the day of the event, with little or no notice whatsoever, the agency will invoice you with a £45 cancellation fee and you may be removed from the Agency database. There are exceptions, of course, such as illness and travel issues. If you are ill at the last minute, we would expect to be told the night before the event or early on the morning of the event. We will try and find a replacement and will warn the customer / venue of a possible 'no-show'. If you tell us about your illness after the event date, we will be inclined to think that you forgot about the event unless you can provide a doctor's certificate. Otherwise, the agency will invoice you with a £45 cancellation fee and you may be removed from the Agency database. If you get delayed on your way to the venue, please call us straight away and call the venue to warn them also. Whilst we expect you to leave sufficient time for travel, we know that some things such as breakdowns and other delays due to accidents on the motorways and flight delays are not always avoidable. We would not penalise you in these circumstances, but if you are frequently late for appointments, you will be judged as unreliable and will be removed from our databases. Because the majority of our customers are getting married, we expect you to treat the appointment with the highest priority and greatest attention to detail. Please allow plenty of time to arrive, set up and sound check. If you are driving, aim to arrive at the venue at least an hour in advance. Allow 2 hours for trains, and for flights, try and get there the day before the event.
Cancellations - If the client needs to cancel We all accept that this does happen occasionally. You will be credited with a cancellation fee of £45.00 which will be credited to your next contract. Thankfully, this only equates to less than 1% of our bookings in any year! ********************************** Full terms and conditions are released with every booking contract, which you will have the opportunity to read through before signing to signify your consent. |
