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
Rant over...

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.

Hopefully once you done it you'll be able to save the mail and do them all together next time round.

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.
