UPDATES ON GED GETTING PAID FOR THE GIG

Any updates to the original podcast will be posted here and dated.

Original gig with promise of payment after gig with an unknown band 08/07/17

GREAT NEWS! The band member (not band leader) who phoned actually got the gig fee into my account and hopefully it came from the band leader! On this occasion I’ve been really lucky but perhaps not so lucky next time so watch out guys! 28/07/17
