10.6.11 – SADDLETRAMP CMC – Clear Cut would like apologise to anyone who travelled to see them at the Saddletramp CMC, Frampton Upon Severn, Gloucestershire on Saturday 4 June. Darren from Clear Cut tried contacting the organiser (Mrs Church) to confirm their date with the club but the organisers had changed their contact number without informing us. After ringing around several other clubs in the area, it appeared that the Saddletramp CMC had closed several months previous and the organisers had not contacted Clear Cut to cancel their booking. This is the second time Clear Cut have had a problem with this club. Last year after performing at the venue, the organiser approached Clear Cut explaining that she would not be able to pay them in full as she hadn’t had enough people through the door! She said that she would pay half the fee on the night and the other half 4 weeks later at a different venue. Needless to say, she never turned up. After contacting Musician’s Union, Clear Cut did eventually received the money via post.
