Guest idol_wild Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 To be fair, it was an unfortunate night to have a gig on with the Caribou/SotL double header Thu/Fri.Yeah - this totally worked against me in the end. And the Sunday factor.I obviously didn't promote it correctly/well enough either! Been there, done that...didn't give up!You're made of stronger stuff.

I don't have the personal finance to potentially lose this again in the near future. I am not a wealthy man in any way.It's not a hissy fit, it's a circumstancial result.

Chris Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I lost just short of 100 last night out of my own pocket.

I'll leave it to those who know what they're doing. Maybe you could work with the other promoters in Aberdeen in future to offset some of the losses and raise the profile of your gigs. You could book the bands then try and enlist the more experienced hands of the IM crew for example to help with the actual promotion.Anyway, sorry I couldn't make it down last night. Having just returned from holiday my finances were too low to go to any of the gigs last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all_his_engines Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Typical bloody Aberdeen, that. I went along last night primarily because Phil's descriptions of the bands interested me. I'm glad I did, because all three acts were fantastic. Both touring bands were great, and Kartta put on what I felt was one of their best ever performances!Phil - you always do a sterling job of promoting gigs, a damn sight more than a lot of promoters in this city do. But if you're dealing with such an apathetic market it's always going to be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
