Hi girls,
The short story to this is - we have been trying to arrange to see one of the bands we had considered for our evening reception entertainment for MONTHS. Every time we book a table at the restaurant they play, they cancel. Yet we kept persisting to see when they were next playing. Finally, we came across another band who were just wonderful and available, therefore we have now booked them, having felt like the other band were given enough chances.
We sent the other band a short email last night explaining that we were no longer interested in their services and wished them all the best.
Today we get the following email:
Thanks for your email. This correspondence have been going on since, at least October 2011!!!It is not just our time by the way Andy.It is the fact that we booked the date for you with trust and we avoided other gigs on that day!!!That meant losing money.I was decent enough not to ask for a deposit and you took advantage of that. I am really sorry but I will have to ask you for a compensation of at least £200. Wait to hearing from you soon with the cheque.
Is this guy for real?!?!?!!?!!!!!
We were only ever 'penciled' in and who books a band for their wedding without seeing them play first anyway?!
OH is going to reply tonight as he has all email trails/texts of all our attempts to see them play and their cancellations....
ARGH!
