Received an email from one of our Sardinian friends, Andrea (that’s a bloke by the way), over Christmas asking me to put together a list of small live music clubs. He wants to bring a band he manages - who seem to sound a lot like crusty US metallers Korn - over to the UK for a short tour.
I’ve asked another friend who used to promote local college gigs for a bit of help.
He seems to think that the best way to do it is to contact expat sites and newspapers in London, and maybe try and get small news pieces in the rock press to drum up some interest. Then get the band to drive over and do two or three gigs in quick succession and not too far apart in order to keep the costs down.
Strangely at the same time I’ve also been asked to help set up some shows for a South African choir who want to play here.
All very interesting but having never done anything like this before the pessimist in me can’t help feeling I should run screaming in the opposite direction.
