A Completed Written Contract. 2. An e-mail confirming acceptance of the fee by both parties. No purely verbal agreements will be accepted. Please note: Door / ticket prices are set by the Woodman Folk Club organisers. Bookings: Cancellation If an artist/band or The Woodman Folk Club cancels: Under most circumstances the following course of action would be expected: • As much prior notice as is reasonably possible to give. • An alternative date for a re-booking if possible. • The artist/band/Woodman Folk Club will honour any contractual obligations resulting from cancellation. A common-sense approach will be taken at all times. We all know the unexpected can and will happen from time to time. Bookings: Program Material The performing artist/band will take full responsibility for the content of their performance. Please keep within the letter of the law regarding Race, creed, religion, intolerance etc. Again please use common sense when performing Traditional songs containing any mild references to the above. A brief explanation must be offered up front, to fully contextualize the content of such songs. In extreme cases, The Woodman Folk Club reserves the right to stop any offensive performances. Bookings: Accommodation/Meals The Woodman Folk Club does not normally provide hotel accommodation or a meal allowance. However: If it is necessary for an overnight stay it may possible to stay as guests at the organiser’s house. There is one double bedroom and one single folding bed in a separate room available. A meal/refreshments may be provided at the organiser’s house before travelling the short distance to The Woodman Folk Club. Please inform the organiser’s of any special dietary requirements. If such requirements are derived from a medical condition, you may be required to provide your own food/refreshments. The artist must be able to arrive at the organiser’s house around 4:30pm to allow enough time to eat before setting off to The Woodman Folk Club premises. All arrangements must be agreed with the organiser’s at the time of booking. Bookings: Acceptance/Refusal Please understand that resources are limited and that not all booking requests can be accepted. If you are not booked it could be for many different reasons. It is not The Woodman Folk Club’s intention to infer any negative connotations pertaining to the artist/band abilities, talent or material. In most cases, you will be invited to try again at a later date. Rudeness or offensiveness will not be tolerated and will result in exclusion from any further consideration or contact. This booking policy is for advice only. It does not form part or whole of a contract. |
