Got this from gigdealer.com 1, sounds like a reasonable idea for the local type bands...
The gigdealer.com 1 is a new "gig-exchange-website" for bands and musicians, wich helps you and your band to play more live concerts in new cities / locations and to reach new fans!
Most of us dont have a big fat major deal or the support of a professionel booking-agency: So its time to help yourself and work together with the gigdealer-bands!
And so it works:...
1) You organize a concert (gig) for your band and tell the location-owner that youll bring one (or more) support-bands with you.
2) You put in the gig in our database and the other gigdealer-bands will send you an Application for the place as your support-band!
3) You choose one (or more) bands and in response, youll play the support at the next gig from your guest-bands in their city / country or wherever!
So in this case...
- each of you organize just 1 gig, but youll play 2 (or more) !!!
- youll play in locations where you would not have played without the assistance from the other band !!!
- youll play in front of a new audience and maybe you can win them as new fans (or groopies :-) for your band !!!
And the best thing: you work together with another active and open minded gigdealer-band!!!
⬅️ So what you doing for New Years Eve? :: Providing some content for On Folkestone ➡️
This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues + things, + I hear it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now Iʼve moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesnʼt get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great arenʼt they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
