I made some of these response postcards yesterday. Wording redefined as this:

Thank you for listening to our demo

please tick the boxes and send the card back to us

no stamp needed.


Tick boxes with the following wording.

We'd like to book you, please phone ..........................to decide a date.

Sorry, no opportunities at the moment. Please try another time.

I'd like to keep the CD.

If you send stamps and labels I'll post it back to you

I'll pass the CD to someone else who books folk acts.



signed................

name and folk club, gig or festival name..................



And remember what they say in newspaper feature writing (well they said it to me anyway)

'it takes several articles before anyone actually takes notice.'

and in showbiz and folk music, 'it takes 20 years to become an overnight success....'



..............and on a happier note, a musician (very talented) phoned me the othr day to see if I had received his demo. I did and I wanted to book him but was thinking about how to squeeze him in....

He sounded so dragged down, I took pity on him and will risk the wrath of my club committee. I strongly believe, we have to try to support visiting musicians. If we don't, who will.
