For that to happen, genuine and honest discussions must precede. I hear the same problems individually from musicians and bands. However, I have yet to see them discussing collectively and doing something about it. Here's a fine example: Very recently, a band tried to increase the rates that they play in the resorts. They approached other bands for this cause. Whether their intentions were genuine or not, they did not manage to get support from the other bands. Their competitors were ready to take their places at even lower prices! So how could one think collectively in this mind frame?

The problem as u have highlighted is that many bands are not equipped as a business unit with they themselves managing the band most of the time. My goal is to highlight this as a legitimate issue especially to younger bands and performers and thinking more collectively rather than letting fellow competitors have bad debtors. However the reality is that some other band would be ready to perform when one bands deal turns sour. I do support Al-basso’s comment wholeheartedly.

Black listing them in a public forum will not work because, your competitor will be up for the grabs behind your back! This is one reason that artistes need managers to worry about these kinda things. Alternatively, it is better to profile customers and debtors, and device a strategy on how to handle them. Not when they don't pay, but even before you start dealing with them. Look at it like this: Wouldn't you prefer bad debtors on your competitors side, while you have better paymasters for yourself? ;) Late or even non-payments are normal in any business scene.
