We have being disrespected - Gonjaland Musicians fume
In what turned out to be an all-blame press conference held at the Ras Banku Cinema centre,the Gonjaland Musicians Union expressed utter letdown in what they describe as ungracious treatment of some of their members during the event of the crowd-pleasing Fancy Gadam show that megahit Damongo a couple of days ago.
Disclosing to the press, the president of the association popularly known as Father Bronzy averred that they were simply not happy with the manner events are been organised in the town.According to him, event organisers simply do not regard they the Gonjaland musicians."We have been offended as brothers and we are not happy about the development".He stated rather emotionally.He went perfervid when he used his personal experience to drum home the point of the association.How he was given only Gh30.00 to travel from Techiman to Damongo to be part of the Fancy show out of brotherly love for the event organisers only to be given a distasteful reception and treatment as compared to the red carpet rolled out to the guest artist.
Most of the musicians also expounded concerns about the fact that they were not informed before their faces were put on the bill as performing local artist.And that all they wanted was due recognition and respect but not money."I was on my way to buy yam when I noticed that my name and face was captured as a performing local artist at the show. I was surprised and made up my mind never to turn up for the show if due recognition and information was not given me".Big Dorley asserted. 
In responding to the issues, the Business-man-now-turned-event organiser never minced words when he stated, "I'm a business man and it has being my dream to organise such a show".He accordingly stated that he was looking at the best way to promote his business without making loses, and that the said local musicians contracted to be part of the show never demanded any payment to which he declined.
"I'm new to the industry and so decided to contract KGee to lead me through the organization. I never anticipated the outcome will be my name been discussed on the radio as spending Gh2000.00 to bring a Tamale based local musicians to Damongo and thus disregarding the local based musicians".Stated the risk taking business man.
In looking at the way forward, the local based Gonjaland musicians were counseled to go back to the drawing board and resolve to resolve their differences.
