Is there any set process that the more experienced touring bands of aberdeen use to book themselves a small run of gigs.
For example do you
- look for the simplest geographical route
- take whatever slot in whatever venue is offered
- do you book these gigs all yourself?
- Have you ever used an agent?
I've previously tried to set up just a small run of say five gigs around Scotland and found it increasingly hard to have all the gigs tie in comfortably. How long should a band plan ahead for such a thing?
It's not something i'd be madly into doing right now, but again it's always interesting to hear some feedback.
