You’re free until someone books you. ‘Waiting on finance’ isn’t booking.

Thanks. That makes a whole lot of sense!

This is a good situation to be in. You are not officially booked by either of the first two, so let the third one know you are available. You’re welcome to tell #3 you have two possible offers coming if you want. It may make you look more desirable. But it’s not mandatory. (They’re not telling you they’re looking at other people, are they?). Anyway, look at it as whoever books you first wins the shootout. Then politely let the other(s) know someone else stepped up and booked you first

Exactly that. And consider yourself available until you have physically signed anything

Thanks! This is exactly the advice I was looking for!

@OP did you get booked for one of the three gigs? What's the end of the story?

Keep us posted!🍀
