Cutting the Fees

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a member of the Goodfellas? The week goes a little something like this:

Monday: Off / Event

Tuesday: Timbre Mobile (starts at 845pm)

Wednesday: Practice day (8-11pm)

Thursday: Timbre at the Substation ( starts at 1030pm)

Friday: Timbre at the ArtsHouse (starts at 945pm)

Saturday: Timbre at the Substation(starts at 1030pm)

Sunday: Off/Event

Sounds hectic? Try adding day jobs before performing at night and you might have a rough idea of how life as a Goodfella is like. We do sacrifice our time with our family and loved ones, and they try their best to understand. Which is why, as you can see from our schedule, whenever there’s an event, like a wedding or somebody’s circumcision party that we have to play for, it eats into our personal time.

We don’t mind doing it, obviously, but well, the next time we quote you our performing fee, please bear that tiny fact in mind. We are neither cut throats, nor do we want to squeeze your budget dry, but as Steven Gerrard said earlier this week (although I’m NOT a Liverpool fan), “You get what you deserve”, and well, to put it bluntly, you get what you paid for. If it’s a whole lot of entertainment that you want, and you think we are able to provide it, then we’ll repay your faith in us, no doubt about it.

Having said all this, the band definitely takes pleasure in performing at Timbre and meeting new patrons. It’s been nearly THREE years, people! By the way, look out for the next post on Holiday greetings. It’ll be funnier.
