While sitting around in a circle of people worse off than me in rehab there came a letter....

A promotion label wanted to add me to their next release...for £500...I was in no state so I said..YES!

Then came to my senses and ignored them. So come on, this should be good, what price fame guys and girls? Would you seriously pay big money for someone to stick you out on an album where you would have as much chance as you do now?

Or would you rather invest in some decent equipment and go play out in that big wide world and make money instead?

Love to know what you all think. Wink

Agree. The word "fame" as a lure to make a quick buck is pretty popular. Online competitions with big named judges etc. are mostly taurus excretia.
A lot of bands over here do there own marketing and promotion which can workif we have the time.

500 pounds is madness, and an unecessary risk.

Just to update, have recieved a final demand payment off these guys. There has been no written agreement passed between either of us, except for a phone call, an : Yeah sounds good, and a request to be sent some info.
