Hi Fraser, An update on the IBD for you. Your performance on QSM main stage as part of the backing band will commence at 12 midday until 2:30 pm, and will comprise of 3 30 minute sets on Saturday, August 1. 
 I have organised the use of a Korg SV1 for your use if you need it or find it to be an appropriate piece of equipment. I will keep you in mind as an alternate vocalist if it is needed, and very much appreciate the offer. 

In negotiation with Brisbane Marketing, I managed to raise the fee for the backing band to $200 and a parking voucher. A link will be sent to you in April for your contract through Brisbane Marketing.

 Thank you again for your participation in International Blues Day 2015. Kind regards, Shaun Ballagh
