I had harassment done from a lady who works at alive network called Clara I am in talks to pay back a deposit that was paid to me from a gig I had in December but had a lot going on since due to being ill. I have had 20 miss calls also she has commented on my Facebook page 8 times on differernt posts asking for me to pay the money. People go through hard times but being harassed is not good or professional.
So Clara I feel you need to sort the way you approach people not only you tried to let everyone no about this situation you also done this form your own personal Facebook page, when I’m going through a stressful Time.
I do hope someone picks this up and speaks with Clara.

Reply from Alive Network
Hi Ryan, it's my understanding that you kept and spent a payment made in advance to you by a venue who you then didn't perform for. This left the venue out of pocket.
Under the terms of the contract, where an artist cancels a booking, fees paid in advance should be refunded within 7 days. Instead you spent the money, which we're pretty sure is a criminal offence.
When we initially tried to resolve this with you, you agreed to refund the money and then didn't. This happened several times. You then stopped answering calls from us and the venue. Unable to reach you to resolve the matter, Clara reached out on Facebook.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through a hard time, but it was a bad decision to spend money that didn't belong to you. The venue is understandably keen to receive their refund, and not communicating with us and the venue isn't helping. I urge you to get in touch with Clara asap before the venue takes legal action against you.

A to Z performed at our Christmas party, they arrived on time, were very organised and gave a great performance. Particularly liked their version of American boy! Would certainly recommend them to anyone requiring a band at their event.
