Right
ive just phoned and emailed 20 pubs in the last 2 hours with links to FB, Lemonrock and youtube
exhausting...I know me bands ok but what a ba**ache this is, every year, always me, busting a gut to get gigs, the other 2 lazy gits don't lift a finger. I'll be lucky to get 1 or 2 gigs from all this work.
I hate it

Its easy. What we do is split the possible venues in our agreed radius between the band members. It works out about 25 each, and we have a week to work through them. Questions are asked if the list is not completed and gigs are not forthcoming.

Exactly, one of the reasons I gave up running a band.

Did this too in a previous band. Come Autumn, at the end of each gig, get the manager to fetch his diary out and book in next year's dates.
