I completely forgot about asking first. I am sorry I upset our host and will
apologise to him personally on Monday evening for not consulting him first when
Will and Ben were with me in the studio.

have confirmed only one guest this Sunday, Phil Gill. I should have made sure
my guests left the premises immediately and will do in the future. I think
Steve is ok now I have spoken to him. His wife just wants to know who the
people are invading her garden, quite understandable.

I have spoken to both Phil and Steve tonight at some length and Phil is very
remorseful about what he has done and has apologised. He says it won't happen
again.
Steve is fine and trusts us to take steps to ensure things are now under
control.
I have informed him about me bringing in a Happy Maureen or two on Saturday
afternoon to talk about the Fest.
His biggest annoyance at the moment is that he has a family commitment on
Sunday and wants to come to the Fest. He is hoping to find a suitable excuse to
get out of the family thing.
I will talk to Steve again tomorrow morning to reassure him that the recent
shenanigans won't be repeated.
Put this all down to a learning. There have been a number of errors made but
they only become mistakes if we don't correct them.

I have spoken to Steve this afternoon and it seems the final straw before he
told us about this was Phil the bus last night bringing in Ian of St Leonards
as a co-host and not asking permission. The first Steve knew about this was
when he saw the Facebook listing of Ian sitting in the big chair. His wife was
also annoyed at the fact that Steve had to go out while there were 8 people in
the garden that she didn't know (Tonys guests). Steve does not want more than 2
band members at any time on any shows. He also wasn't told about Rick bringing
his sons in.
Whilst Steve is still, at the moment, happy to have us there again, there is a
real danger that his wife will say following recent events she will put her
foot down and say No, and he has to honour her wishes as she needed persuading
in the first place!
Phil needs to be told that he has put us in danger of not being invited back as
it's him that's posting random photos in the garden and basically taking
liberties!
Steve

Subject: [Hastings Rock] Our Hosts - Huston, we have a problem
** Hastings Rock Radio **
Morning all,
O.K. So we potentially have a problem with our Host, Steve.
He has made it known to us that there are too many people arriving at
the Studio that he has not been made aware of, while he doesnt have a
huge problem with this, his Wife, who apparently isnt a huge fan of
Rock, and also works very long shifts, is getting anxious about random
people milling around the Garden in and out of the studio.
I dont want to go into long details about the ins and outs of this, but,
we MUST take steps to stop this now, before it becomes a big issue and
we arent invited back next year.
I will also be sending a message to the Facebook DJ group (Is everyone
on that platform Sarah? apart from Simon...) about this, but we will
need to enforce a strict blanket ban on ANY and ALL guests, UNLESS there
is a justification for them being there..
Currently, I can only think of Specific helpers for Request shows, St
Michaels Hospice guests, the Odd band leader on a Sunday night...
but this shouldnt extend to friends, family or anyone a DJ thinks might
be "good fun" to be in the studio with.
The Garden must also be off limits to everyone that does go to the
Studio, they are either In the studio, or leaving the Studio. Its only
a matter of time before photos and other facebook posts that we have
seen gives our location away, and then we are in bigger trouble....
Anyone that would like a Guest in the Studio NEEDS to contact either
myself or Nick in advance, who will, in turn confirm this with Steve,
our Host, and he may well say No, and we HAVE to respect this.
This may also be an issue on the final night as well, there are usually
lots of people in the Studio at various times, but I think this should
ONLY be the outgoing, and incoming DJ for the 1 hour slots (or whatever
gets decided...) We really cant be using the Studio as a party venue,
thats in the Angling Club...
Sorry if this sounds a bit drastic, but it IS Steve's house, we ARE his
guests, and this IS the Golden goose of a location, so lets not muck it
up in the first year...
Happy to chat about it to anyone....
Keep rocking..
Tony Bell
