Thread Name: Discount CDs at gigs
Subject: RE: Discount CDs at gigs
I appreciate your contribution Cap'n

I do however know only too well that the artist needs to pull in the audience or they won't get booked again. I have followed the career of the relatively young duo Norcsalordie with an extremely strong and very personal interest and through this I am vividly aware that no matter how proficient you are or even how well you go down, if the crowd is not there in the numbers that makes it economical you can kiss goodbye to the rebooking

I have seen packed houses and I have seen pubs where the duo threatened to outnumber the audience. As a supporter of Norcsalordie I have contacted what's on websites and radio etc to promote gigs being held in pubs. I hope to create awareness and to persuade people to listen and to turn up for gigs and to publicise their activities

Did you know that Norcsalordie are appearing at Folkmob in Eltham as a support act for Martin Carthy on March 25th? tickets available from sue@folkmob.com

After three years of trying to get noticed and living every moment of an up and coming band I know only too well the need to bums on seats and to provide value for money - hence the bit of advertising above which I hope will work to the benefit of the club they are playing in

but as you say - it still has nothing to do with the price of their CDs
