Soda Jerk Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Fair enough. Can I just give my 5 straight to Lemuria, because I'm worried you'll spend it on a jar of magic beans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I know when I've made mistakes, I don't need people pointing out the obvious.Have you?! 'Go and look at artists' myspace pages in the off-chance they're playing a gig near you' does strike me as the words of a boy who has seen the error of his ways.

Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I don't want to echo Original Spies' and Old Gold's sentiments for fear of being insulted for being "up their asses". But I agree with their statements regarding Inksters quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 does every promoter turn up to every single gig they put on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 does every promoter turn up to every single gig they put on?A good chunk of them do and I believe all of them should. Local or smaller ones, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 A good chunk of them do and I believe all of them should.

Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 So your saying it is known for a promoter to miss gigs they are putting on sometimes, other than Inkster of course?Yes? That isn't what I was argueing. I just don't see the point in putting on a show if you aren't going to be there. Unless you are trying to do it purely for the cash. Which I think is a bit shit.

Which I think is a bit shit.So all gig promotion should be done to support bands not for someone to make money from?Would you have the same problem with DF concerts?

KennyS Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 theres two people involved!I see.does every promoter turn up to every single gig they put on?What's the point in putting a band on if you don't go and see them?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I see.What's the point in putting a band on if you don't go and see them?!Buisness, helping a band out, helping a venue that may have asked you, you could have booked them and something else has come up, there are plenty reasons a promoters job is to get people through the door, not to watch the bands.

KennyS Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah, business and Lemuria don't really fit, this is a DIY tour. It's not a job, it's for the fun of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well it was rebutting your post above, so if my answer has nothing to do with what I was talking about, then neither does what you were on about. Put simply: I understand it may be different for commercial promoters and bands where people are doing it for reasons other than purely the enjoyment of the music (and that's fine if that's what they want to do), but with this type of gig and this type of band, getting to see the band tends to be pretty much the long and the short of the motivation for doing the gig.
