[Mael-list] Sparks Sponsorship-ugh

[Steve Boyce]

Hi Will  

 

Of course they have a right to recoup costs.  The point is how this
thing looks as currently presented e.g. for journos visiting the gigs
when the program says "sponsored by Mr and Mrs Smith" or whatever there
is definitely an opportunity for  "easy humour". 

 

I just especially wish they didn't call it sponsorship, because it's not
a serious commercial sponsorship deal.

Have to say, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Thing is 21 entirely
different gigs is going to take much more in the way of rehearsal ad
therefore much more in the way of paying wages. This can't be a cheap
endeavour for the band and recouping the money spent on that and
standard gig costs is unlikely to happen merely by the takings on the
door. PLus here's the cost of accommodation for a month. When it boils
down to it, they ain't doing this for their health and they have every
right to recoup costs however they see fit. I'd love to say I'd been
able to help them do their thing. Sadly, I don't have any cash.... :-(
