I just had to share this one... We've been approached by Gary Numan's agent to see if we'd like to hire him for one of our events

I mean it's promoted in quite a few places now so it'd be nice to know which ones are working! GN's not doing too badly... he's bringing out a new album soon, and plans live performances this year as well as working on his DJ career. That's what this email was about - for us to hire him and his DJ partner Ade Fenton as DJs for one of the balls or other events. Presumably we could also hire him for singing purposes - but something tells me we might need to run a few more events before we have enough in the kitty for that

Maybe his agent googled GN's name and came up with our 'Friends Electric' evening?
Actually I know a few people who would WET themselves if GN played or DJed in Salisbury! One of them would be Bob from Friends Electric!

Cool.
But I think Mr Numan's fee might affect ticket prices.

Cool. But I think Mr Numan's fee might affect ticket prices. Absolutely. I can't see us employing him for one of the balls since it would make the ticket prices prohibitively high. If we ever did book him for anything I would think it would be for an event held just for that purpose (so we'd not have so many other things to pay for on top of him and the venue - you should see the list of stuff we're forking out for as it is!). Just out of interest I tentatively enquired what his fee was. I recieved a cryptic reply that more or less meant "it depends how many people will be in the audience and how much you'll be charging them to be there".

LOL it may be worth raising the money just to witness the mass pant-wetting I think that might depend on whether or not you guys have to clean up the venue after your events.

Hmm, now I'm curious. Just out of interest I tentatively enquired what his fee was. I recieved a cryptic reply that more or less meant "it depends how many people will be in the audience and how much you'll be charging them to be there". So in thoery getting him to play for ten people in someones living room would be quite cheep.

All I can say is that organising an event like this has proved to be like the proverbial swan... it looks good but requires a lot of effort to get it floating properly! You lot'll have a good time and it'll all look shiny and wonderful but it'll only because we spent the last 6 months paddling like ducks on speed behind the scenes! LOL it would be nice if it worked that way wouldn't it
