LOCAL DIRECTORY
I wish to start a local directory for live bands in my area. While the local scene is getting bigger, some of the venues just can't be
bothered with the "hassle" of booking gigs. What can i do to get these acts some work
and recognition? not to profit right now but to get the place pumping. Please tell me?
Dec replies:
You may be falling into the trap of wanting to help the bands too much.
The bands really should be finding the work themselves. Offering a free
half hour as a taster to local wine bars, pubs etc. who have the notion to
encourage live entertainment.
At the end of the day, if a band is good enough, has gorgeous band members...
