Your Cross Inn gig is off.  I had a quiet word with the Rev Ang*s Sm*th and mentioned that  you were the same cove that sang "I Still Haven't Found Guga's For" there in 1988, leading to the infamous Guireans Live riot and a lifetime ban from the district.
 
So you're free to play MOR 2003 again.
 
As regards remuneration. the festival will be run by an offshore holding company registered in the tropical tax haven of Goat Island and entirely dissocciated from CJ "Mr 97%" Mitchell and Ken "Mr 98.125%" Livingstone.
 
I believe their artistic director, a Mr J*e El**t , will be pleased to  "deal with" performers asking questions about money.

We're going to need some Corporate Sponsorship for the MOR. I happen to know that the Dun Ringles still have about £4.34 in their Royal Bank of Scotland cloth money-bag, which is located on the bottom shelf of a bookcase, just under the box with all the unsold copies of Beyond the Clisham. However, this might not be enough,so can anyone think of any big firms we could approach for an exclusive sponsorship deal a la Tenants T In The Park type thing? Its a pity 'Lambournes Discount Clothing' emporium on Church St (where the Bhards used to be) is closing down as I'm sure they'd have done it.Any suggestions?

What's the venue?  Island or mainland venue?
 
I hear the Comhairle would look favourably on a licence for Midge Hill or Goat (Spike) Island.

I have heard a rumour that the Swedish TV tribute band, Swedish Transvestite, are negotiating a spot at the Midges Of Rock in homage to STV's slot at the '83 Midges.
 
is this true ?

i have heard a rumour that the guireans are going to have a thing called a practice session.
what does a practice session entail, is it something that beardy folkies get up to ? or is it warming up witha few drams before a full blown seshun ?

The Actorrr - who knows about these things - says that a Practice Session is "like a rehearsal, my boy, a rehearsal".
 
Is that not something to do with driving the big black car backwards at a funeral?

I thinks its only one of them tribute bands... Swedish Transvestite or something. Still, they might be good, as ABCD were excellent in the Town Hall a few years ago.
