mikel Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 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.

Come Autumn, at the end of each gig, get the manager to fetch his diary out and book in next year's dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
