Battle of the Bands

FINALLY some good news. No, NOT the election of Barack Obama (although Nan is VERY happy about this - she went out with a black man in the 60s; she's SO not over him). No, the good news I was REFERRING to is that DESPITE the credit crunch Spencer has AGREED to stump up the cash as prize money for the Battle of the Bands we are organising.
Hopefully THIS will be a chance to SHOWCASE the talents of the Argyle Style!!! lol
Jally is in charge of SELECTING which bands can enter, but understandably he's had some SKEPTICAL responses - I DOUBT with his drive and dtermination this will be a MAJOR problem long-term.
I asked Jally to send me the email correspondence to check on his progress...

We are 130 miles/ 203Km away from from Plymouth, so we can't come if we are not definitely playing, it will take 3.5 hours to drive there, so as long as we are playing, it will be fine. Why can you not say whether we are definitely playing or not?

Also I cannot read the attachment, where is the gig?

I suggest you brush up on your English as it is very hard to understand what you are saying, you have given no venue details and a scanned image you can't read. It doesn't seem like a very reputable gig, as you have given no details of it and want me to agree that the band will come with the chance of not playing.

P.S. I am the Manager.

Hmm, you are NOT the first to mention this.

He IS French. Were you aware of this? I think sometimes because his English is so good, people don't allow for losses in translation, they just assume he is like us.
Are you SURE you have not just misinterpreted?

Let me know; either way,

Julian

You'll have to ask Jacques-Antoine (cc'd) - he is our official researcher.

We have two venues lined up. Kind of playing them off each other. BOTH are in Plymouth and this SHOULD be confirmed by the weekend.

So, you're interested?

Let me know; either way asap (as soon as possible)

Julian
