Summary: 3. Today's Episode People Pleasing Music Company Ltd (incorporating Publishing and Management) in association with Authentic Promotions Agency, Enigma Artistes Internacional, Surreal Events, Angry House Productions and Derek Chiswick Management presents a: Mike Sidaway Music Entertainment Production The Morning Breakfast Sessions: Tuesday 14th April 2020In Mike's pre-show chat with his soon-to-be-manager (or so Derek hopes), Derek Chiswick, contract negotiations will have to be put on hold due to Mike being a few minutes late for his performance (again), and also the big stumbling block, it seems, around the issue of Derek's proposed cut of all Mike's earnings. 30% commission. Seems an awful large chunk. But in his own words, Derek has been in the business for a long time. And you get what you pay for. Derek must have hundreds and hundreds of contact in his pad. But perhaps they are all from the mid 70s. Maybe 80% is his contacts are now...well, dead. That's not going to give the young musician, Mike, any interesting opportunities and new exciting avenues.Perhaps Mike and Derek can come to some arrangement, and maybe agree to meet somewhere in the middle, 'around the 22.5% mark'. Derek does not realise that as well as being an 'accomplished musician' Mike graduated in Mathematics. Derek should also realise that even year three pupils can work out the mid-point of zero and thirty. Hmm.Derek has invited Mike round to his home to meet Mrs Chiswick. Sounds nice. Is Derek just trying to soften Mike up, take advantage of his youth and his lack of experience in business and contract negotiations? Surely Derek would not stoop to such depths. Hopefully, it is a genuine offer and a chance to become better acquainted. And, of course, meet 'the wife' - the good Lady Chiswick (as Derek refers to her) - and perhaps sample her homemade lasagne washed DAAAAN wiv a glaaarrs of Asti (Spumante).Songs TodayHound Dog, Elvis PresleyShot - Done!
