 The Artist will appear for the times shown on the face of the confirmation.

 The Artist will make every possible effort to arrive in good time to commence work as agreed. However, if the Artist is held up by rail delays, traffic, weather or any reason beyond his control, he will make every endeavour to keep the Client informed of progress.
