We played @ some festivals last year and would love to get more booked - any ideas any-one? Thanks a lot for your help! Katie :) www.funkeegirl.com |

So that way you won't waste time sending a promo of your songs to a dance-only festival (like I have done in the past!) I also like to get in touch first with a brief "this is who I am and what I do, would you like a promo pack" cos that can save them and you a lot of hassle and postage. Good luck! |

Slots at Whitby in particular get booked up pretty quickly so don't hang around. Other than that, anything with an open stage ie Brampton or be prepared to sit in on a lot of singarounds. You may want to do a programme of floor spots at key clubs (ie ones it towns that have festivals attached). Good luck. Cheers Sarah |
