Possibly. We were dealing with a Canadian agent, who we later discovered had not passed on early offers that she deemed (herself) to be inadequate, although she did say she was passing on our last one a month or two ago. And we emailed Bragg management directly with lots of information. The US agent, who Janis contacted, seemed to actually do their job.

Here is the response from Bragg. We were aware that his American tour ended a couple of weeks before our date. I guess he wasn’t willing to stay or come back. We will proceed with Plan B, at the WECC.

Billy appreciates the offer, but he will be in England during this timeframe. We are happy to entertain this offer in 2020 if there is still intertest. Thanks
