Hello Grant
To begin with, has anyone asked to see the Omnibus books in relation to the Secret Garden? Secondly , has anyone got the right to ask to see the books?
Are Omnibus Incorperated,or are they just a registered business name? Are the directors(Partners) of Omnibus personally responsible and hence legaly liable for all costs associated with their productions? It is my belief, and of course I am open to erring, that a PTY LTD company does not have to open its books to the public, nor does a "company" who are in fact only a registered business name. Incorperations, such as the Scouts, are non profit and do have to show their books.So, perhaps we need to first ascertain exactly which category Omnibus fits into.
Again , with regards to the paid musicians I seem to remember a slightly barbed question in relation to how often do the musicians attend rehersals. In defence of the pianist for Omnibus I would like to point out that , in essence he attended EVERY rehersal (three times a week). I just thought the record should be set straight with regards to that particular musician. Thank you again for your attention
