Would you still hire them?

I was at a bar last Thursday along with Jessie Bessie to further discuss some details with a band that I'm planning to hire for my wedding. We didn't really make a specific time appointment, but the band lead told me to go down to the bar where she'll discuss with me after her 1st set of performance.

So fine. Me and Jess were at the bar 30 mins earlier but we didn't see the band lead till like 5 mins before her performance. She then hand gestured that she'll meet us after the 1st set of performance. The band performed for 45 mins and then all of them went downstairs with exception for the band lead. The band lead grabbed her bag, took some drinks from the bar and then left without even saying a single word to me nor Jess!

Both of us were like "what the ??", so I called her and asked about our 'meeting'. She then only told me that the band had to rush to this venue (their next day's performance) for 30 mins and asked if I could stay till she's back AND after she's done with her 2nd set of performance!

I told her some other day then. Me and Jess were kinda pissed coz she didn't have the courtesy to even come over right after her performance and inform us. Nothing, until I called her back!

Sigh.

My dilemma is that they are pretty good as in most of them could play a music equipment AND sing plus their pricing's reasonable as well, whereas most of the other bands I've checked out so far has only centralised on 1 vocalist plus even pricier....

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
