nah im what u might call a freelance promoter i book in a few different venues and with many diff bands altho one day i will have at least one of my own venues or thats the plan anyway!!

thanks for explaining I have to be honest and say I'm still not totally sure what you mean. lol.

For example...did Save Ourselves ask you to find them a venue? or did the venue ask you to find a band? or do you just approach bands to see if they want to do ....whatever?

Sorry if I'm being thick. I'm actually fascinated...

its cool, nah its all down to me....i book the venue and then book the bands.......most of the bigger bands have whats known as a booking agent tho which is someone who books all of the dates the band will play but the smaller bands u can usually just contact them direct. hope that answers ur question.
