Most places we don't get free food, but you'd be suprised how many will give
free drinks. It doesn' hurt to ask. Remember that contracts can be negotiated
and the more things that you have that you are willing to bargain on the more
things you can get through that you really want/need (ie: insuring the saftey
of equipment)
Also, like I stated this is a general contract. Depending on the club,
theatre, party, things get added or deleted.

I copied and read the contract. Not bad. I especially liked the part
about minimum stage size. I haven't used that before but will in the future, I
hate showing up at a gig without enough space to move.
Also, odd as it may seem, I have often used the clause about free food
and/or drink for function gigs such as company parties or weddings. A gig I
played last fall was indignant that the band helped themselves to the open
bar and buffet till I politely showed them my copy of the contract.
Another useful feature in contracts is either an up front deposit
non-refundable except under explicit circumstances or a guarateed price in
case of cancelation due to weather, etc. (especially for outdoor gigs).
Also, has anyone ever used a contract for a Club gig? I've always
assumed they wouldn't sign one, but I have lost more than one gig due to
double booking by the club owner (who hasn't??).

| Mark,
I won't play a club unless they have signed a contract. Usually, if
the gig is booked with an agent, the agency has a standard contract
that must be signed by both the club owner and the band leader.
Don't use an agent that "doesn't believe in contracts" or "uses a
confirmation letter instead" - take it from someone who's been burned
in the past!! (I won't name names in this notes file, but I have
learned who to avoid and who to use in the NH/MA area.)
Even better advice (in my opinion) is to avoid agents whenever
possible and book the gig yourself. Just make sure to use a contract.
