"This happens because they book the same artists and give too much importance to clout and overlook upcoming acts with better work ethics, talent and even commitment to what they do. There are even more affordable and more talented artists than “those new cats” they’re referring to but because of clout they’ll keep going for the same ones and they’ll keep getting disappointed."

presssmusic commented:

"They try to do 6 gigs a night and end up disappointing these establishments. And it’s worse if your establishment is out of Gauteng. Sometimes you can book them for a date and they have no booking so they take your deposit, a week before your event they get to other gigs in Pretoria and they decide to let yours go without telling you and you find out on the day."
