here to email Eric direct
You'll
probably get an answer but I sometimes get inundated and then it
gets too much for me and the emails remain unanswered and I just
feel guilty about it, filled with fear and tortured by it all.
It's the downside of being slightly dysfunctional. It doesn't mean
that I don't care. |
Booking Agency etc...ha ha |
I
don't have an agent for most places at present so if you want to
book me you have to email me direct and come to terms while I light
up a big cigar: |
But
it's not so bad, everyone who's ever had anything to do with
the average booking agent should know that most of them are fucking
useless - they usually give the impression that they don't really
want to fill the date sheet and most of them don't seem to be
capable of doing the job anyway. On the other hand I'm quite
easy to deal with - and I can even be quite reasonable at times! |
We won't
pass your details on
to any third party - really all you have to do is give a correct email address,
your name, sombody else's name or a completely ridiculous false name. All
that City and Country stuff comes from another time when I had the audacity
to think I had enough fans worldwide to carve the planet up into marketing
zones or something, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. What this means
in practical terms is that if you live in Cincinatti or Tokyo you'll still
get an email telling you I'm playing at the 100 Club in London, the Knitting
Factory in New York or the Kings Arms in Salford. It's a different take on
globalisation - people in Melbourne knowing what's going on in, I don't know
- Dusseldorf or whatever far flung place I happen to be going to.
Unless
you've been put off and decided not to bother you'll
probably be returned to the main page after submitting the details (but
again, don't expect a miracle because none of us here really know how this
shit works).
There isn't a message board or an official egroup
because I couldn't stand people using it like a superannuated CB radio and replying
to messages that said 'Ooorruch' with the equally fatuous 'Gaaarch'. But
if anyone wants to start one I don't mind - I'll even come and give a speech
at the annual dinner and dance if you ask nicely.
