Guest Cancelleation - Diana Muldaur


Recommended Posts

Well Said Jason, It annoys me when I see Bad Comments on here, I think people forget this is a Hobby and meeting each new guest is a bonus and not a right. You and the Showmasters team work very hard arranging these events and they are very popular and well arranged. Hats off to all of you at Showmasters.

 

I'm so glad you have managed to Rebook Diana for the winter show and will look forward to meeting her there.

 

Big Thank You.. :clap:

I know I am saying this whilst gutted and quite angry but please Showmasters listen to this feedback - I was only going for Diana Muldaur (I know that is my choice) but we fans have to book travel and hotels to get to your events. If we pay in advance it makes it more cost effective. I cannot believe that Ms Muldaur has just cancelled today (I apologise if I am wrong) so please post cancellations as soon as you are aware so that fans like me are not left with a 300 mile train trip to London to stay in a hotel just to look at the dealers tables.

 

 

Maybe people should take a step back and think before they start looking to blame someone here ? , we all work hard to get an amazing line up for all our events , be spend weeks and months on these deals then we also pay for flights up front some of which are none refundable to give everyone the guest list they what to see.

 

 

 

We cannot ever comment on why a guest has to pull out but in some cases if its work then we can tell you that , in other cases if a personal nature and something we are not permitted to repeat to the fans , but it will be a very good reason why , if its a health issue or a death in the family we would not want to be the one to go public and there is no need as its a privet mater .

 

 

so Trek Dave in this case with Diana i can tell you 100% its a privet matter, so i do not know what Feedback you want us to listen to and learn from ? The guests we have attending our events are human beings and sometimes we are all not up to flying or travelling or working very hard so maybe some thought should be given to what we cannot always say.

 

 

 

 

I have been booking guests for over 20 years now and i can say no one wants to wast anyones time promoting a guest that is not attending, we do our best to get everyone we promote there on the day and most of the time we do just that ,but there are going to be guest that have to drop out its gos with the territory.

 

 

 

Two last thoughts i would like to shear with you all.

 

 

When we was last in the US at a Dr Who con Billie Piper contact us the day before she was to fly to the show to inform us she was really unwell and was not going to make it.

 

We totally understood and wished her the best and that she should look after herself.

 

We asked her if she thought she could make the next even and could we tell the fans that she would be coming to the next event a year later, I herd nothing form her for 24 hours which was very odd , then i got a text , I AM ON THE PLANE , WOW , Billie was still really suffering but was a total trooper and a star and got on the plane not to let the fans down , this is how most guests are, they are good decent people and try to attend what ever happens.

 

 

Here is one other other true story about my old dear from John Hollis

 

I was very close to John he played Lobot in ESB , we had worked together for over 10 years and we were real friends , i stopped getting John to some of my events for around a year and a half , there was some very vocal people on the forum saying that common showmasters "why are you not booking John" or "i need his autograph so come on book him" and one person really pushed hard and was unpleasant saying stuff like "do your job its not that hard pull your finger out" one even said "i have talked to John and he wants to do your shows and dose not know why you are not booking him in ?" etc etc .

 

 

 

What these people did not know was Johns Wife trusted me and had asked me to look after John at all of the last public events he did, i looked after him from getting on the plan going to bed at the hotel getting him on the plain to go home,this was so he was still able to get out and meet the fans as he so enjoyed meeting you all.

 

Then the day came where Johns wife phoned me to say that John was to ill to do any more public appearances, she said he was really missing meeting the fans but his cancer was just so bad he could not leave his house anymore, i used to phone him from time to time telling him when he is feeling better we could do a few more local events again.

 

Over that year and a half on this forum people was just going on about why have we not booked him in , it was not my place to say anything so i did not , a year and a half went by and John passed and he was out of pain and in a better place .

 

Guests are real people and we should never forget that , i hope that give everyone something to think about we are lucky that these interesting people take the time out to travel to meet us and spend a few days with us entreating us overt he weekend.

 

 

Getting back to Diana she has agreed to come to the winter LFCC which is great as i have never met her before and i very much look forward to seeing her myself.

 

 

keep well and see you in a few days everyone.

 

Jason

Jason, thank you for your detailed reply. I should have waited before posting rather than giving an emotional response to Ms Muldaurs cancellation. I was wrong and I apologise. If I see you at the show and you have a second I will apologise in person. Regards Dave
