~ A club tried once before, but we just stayed there until they gave us the money.
~ Had to wait for 3 weeks for the couple to get back from their Honeymoon once before ( "Oh sorry, we thought the best man was going to pay you"
)
~ New Record - 5 weeks for cheque, even then it came from an intermedatory as the "promoters" (not naming anynames *cough*Avalon*cough*) seemed to have dissapeared and even the co-organisor couldn't track them down.
Solution - Written (and signed) contracts + 20% deposit before booking to ensure you've at least covered costs whilst chasing them for payment.
Live and learn...
