Hey guys,
Hoping I can get some advice. I don't want to give too much away at this point.
A seemingly well known band has gotten in touch with us to say that they want to do a gig swap with us. We're in London, and they're in a fairly big European country.
It sounds like a great opportunity, but I'm a bit skeptical. They're basically saying that they'll pay us a chunk of money (a fairly substantial amount) and put us up in a hotel. In return, we sort them a gig out and pay them less money (although still substantial to us) and they don't need a hotel as they've got that covered.
What do you guys think? I know it's not much to go on, but I always thought venues and promoters sorted the money shit out, not the bands directly. Just wouldn't want to get to the country in question, and end up that there isn't actually any gig or something like that.
If it's fully legit - could be a big thing for us.
