Transport is always added on top at a rate of £0.40 per mile from postcode M1. DIÁSPORA has a fixed number of cars for each lineup, and tries to share transport as much as possible to keep costs down. DIÁSPORA tends to avoid cash-in-hand payments in preference of BACS (online) payments which are more reliable and accountable, but there may be occasional instances where cash-in-hand payments cannot be avoided, and signed, hard copy declarations will be used instead. Occasionally, the band may undertake ‘promotional’ engagements for less money, which are negotiated on a one-off basis, but the band would not be expected to perform for free. Comments are closed.
