Gigsmart / Band Wars

soma

First - thomas you sent me a private message (I got an email saying so) but for whatever reason I can't read it. (the message box is empty).

As for the competition, this sounds like a COMPLETELY different competition, You are talking about this being run by gigsmart???(this wasn't apparent from your original posting i think), that was certainly not who was running the competition called 'bad wars' a few years ago. Also talk of money at the door going to charity and non-profit orgs etc.. okay that is CERTAINLY a world away from how the last one was run.

I have nothing but respect for organisations like gigsmart and I have faith that they will run a fair competition, so I take back my 'fixing' allegation as this does seem to be a genuine competition.

Just re-read the original posting and I think I must have left my brain at home when reading that yesterday.. run by gigsmart and has a completely different sponsor (it used to music maker). Really sorry that thomas/gigsmart.
