We had them at a time we felt was reasonable\u20264:15 pm on Wednesday. They again rejected and insisted that they needed just the Wednesday, but prescribed the time that the band plays on the Wednesday\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The back and forth continued and FLOW responded informing the promoter that it couldn\u2019t accommodate Triple Kay on that day because contracts with other performers were already sealed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cSo, we maintained we will increase performance fee, we will shift from Tuesday to Wednesday and at that point he still rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baptiste said even at that point he still didn\u2019t give up and attempted to negotiate directly with a senior member of the band over the weekend, however his offer was again rejected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baptiste said because of the company\u2019s continued passion to promote local groups Triple Kay deserves to be on the stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey are maybe one of our successful and most popular bands and we think they deserve to always be part of CITP\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baptiste said it is regrettable that the band is not on the lineup this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CITP is carded for\u00a0Tuesday October 22nd to Thursday October 24th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Telecommunications provider FLOW has not been able to seal a deal to get popular Bouyon band Triple Kay on its lineup for the 14th edition of Creole in the Park (CITP).
