Wow! Henry, you played both of your sets. I do not believe that either British or Australian contract law is any different than it is in the US. Hell, the US version came out of the british version and I'm assuming the same is likely for Australia as well. For almost $5k, it may very well be in your interests to contact some of your mates in Melbourne and have an attorney there take up this case for you. You should not need to ever show up in person. That excuse about "slander" is bullshit for a couple reasons. 1.) It's not "slander" if it's true. 2.) It has absolutely no bearing on the agreement you guys entered into which you completely fulfilled on your end. Had you walked away from this earlier, yeah, you'd have no claim. But, given you completely fulfilled your obligations, he really has no defense.Originally Posted by davethedrummer
Did you get a contract? If not, the e-mail correspondences of agreement between you two may be enough. Either way, for $5k, it's probably worth talking to someone down there if you haven't and seeing if it's something both realistic and affordable for you to pursue.

A person belonging to one or more Order is just as likely to carry a flag of the counter-establishment as the flag of the establishment, just as long as it is a flag. --P.D.

as i said earlier - spiro is not even slightly indicative of aussie promoters and he's been an ongoing joke here for years.... obviously it's pretty hard for people to know who/what they are playing for from across the other side of the planet, but i'm sure most people in the know over here would advise against having anything to do with earthcore... most promoters here do the right thing, and this is just an example of a ****wit - i'm sure they exist everywhere... (although perhaps not to this extent - ec is pretty special in that respect) Originally Posted by jon connor

Sorry to hear your bad experience Henry. Seems to be a history of kippyness about E.C. This cock Spiro sounds like a right gickhole, hated by many, check it out http://boycottearthcore2007.blogspot.com/

gutted dude. although from reading your blog it seems the writing was on the wall; and you should have honoured your first commitment to play at Fabric.
still we all live and learn. all the best for 2009, should be a good year for Roosters; Year of the Ox and all, financially anyway.
