Followers of one of the biggest music concerts in Africa,
Star Trek would question why one of Nigeria’s finest performers, Dr. Sid was
missing from the list of artistes performing at this year’s edition of the
concert. Entertainment Rave can authoritatively report that the Mavin Records
recording artiste has been banned indefinitely from performing at any Star and
by extension, Nigerian Breweries organized event.
In a mail exclusively obtained by us, Dr. Sid was
blacklisted and banned because of his lackadaisical attitude when last
scheduled to perform on the concert in 2014.
Dr. Sid arrived at the Benin venue of the Star Music Trek very late and
missed critical elements of the terms of engagement agreed to in the contract.
The essential elements missed by Dr. Sid as stated in his
contract includes; attending a sound check/dress & tech briefing between 12
noon and 3pm before the performance to clarify such issues as lightings, sound
reinforcement, performance flow, play duration and participating in radio and
television advertisement promoting the Tour.
According to the handlers of Star Trek, “where the
Artistes fail or refuse to turn up or make himself available for the sound
check, briefing or any other required time before the Concert (including but not
limited to arriving each Venue at the allotted time on each Tour Date), EXP and
NB Plc shall be entitled to act against the Artistes in a manner whatsoever
that will protect their interests including but not limited to removing the
Artistes from the Tour or making deductions from the Artistes fees”.
As provided for under the contractual agreement, the
organisers opted to espouse the penalty which is to blacklist Dr. Sid from
further gigs and deduct 20% from his last performance fee.
