- Need to have this – if not sorted now is a serious problem ESTA – Electronic System for Travel Authorisation Visa costs? – much more for the last minute visa Discount for bulk visa applications – discount on group transport to London or Belfast – for next year? Same with Flights – prices? Explore next year Anyone not yet booked Kerry at the Tour Company [email_address] / 0141 353 8800 Hotels – explore bulk booking and discount Ground Transport – though about how you will get around Bus service between hotels: http:// www.rrlimobus.com /
- Have all you aims sheets This is for you not us… be realistic… better to focus on one achievable thing. Importance at a UK level – festivals and dates, live synch, future tours ets
- Planning & Research vital – still two weeks and this weekend 100s of different SxSWs – what will yours be? Up to you to decide
- But actually more diffuse all over the city – as many more unoffiicial venues/parties Could be as much as 70 (official bands on at any time) and it unofficial and could be up to 100 or 150. Competition is fierce – if you go thinking SxSW will make you by virtue of going you’ll get nothing from it. Among the best bands in the world – need to be your best! Delegates – mixed bag – lots of holiday makers but also lots of key people from the industry – never know who is there – opportunity but also a hazard, watch what you say and where.
- Don’t give things away – get a business card… anyone who is serious will have a card and won’t mind giving it – blaggers won’t Sharing contacts – we will make all of ours available to you all – like to do the same… pass on details especially if giving one of the Scottish CDs. Best way is to put into an excel spreadsheet and we can combine all of these into one database Professional looking material – present right attitude – burnt CDs a No and homemade stuff (unless that is your style/aestetic)
- Well-rehearsed Usually no sound-checks – line check at best Turn arounds are tight – practice this, have pedals on boards etc Is not the Scottish Arts Council job to promote you own shows… if show is empty then you must take responsibility. We will help where possible but cannot rely on us Promote to locals to anyone – good crowd equals a good show, makes a good impression on the industry that you will invite to see you if your show is full. Also makes for a better show for you as performers
- If anyone knows anyone who could work on merch stall please let Stuart Thomas know asap Much rather have someone we know… happy to pay small amount to person.
- List of shows that you can all have and use Equipment/backline – be realistic can you actually share? Lost equipment – every year – help out Crew – anyone taking any?
- CD – make sure you get a business card from anyone you give a CD to. If they don’t have one it is unlikely that they are working in the business… obviously play by ear but as a rule. collect details – collate as and Excel spreadsheet and send to ST we will combine these and send these to everyone so we all can share. You need to do likewise with you own CD get a card make a database for follow up after return CDs to delegates only
- These are all here for you to use. I will forward my full contact details once I have US mobile [email_address] +44 972 397 224 Hotel: Hilton Garden Inn Austin Downtown 500 North IH 35 Can leave me a message there or at the UK stand at Trade Fair ST: I arrive Tue 17 at around 8pm local time – can meet me Wed morning from 11 am at UK stall in Trade Fair or else arrange another time
- All bands to wear T shirts on Fri 20 Mar – create a buzz and a scene Supplied at cost or free (need to check) Remainder are for sale
- We need to have at least one but preferably two delegates here at all time. Rota to be sent out via doodle poll We Will provide briefing on the stand and info All artists to share details of all shows so we can promote each other
- Are bands up for doing acoustic sets at Trade fair? If so let ST know and we can try and schedule this. Is a good way to promote your show… can help fill the venue. Bloc Party – is a pub crawl with food and drink – be good to have a good show and more people on Thur 4 – 6pm.
- Will be other lists Will forward Key parties: SPIN, Fader, The Fort
- Only one member of staff – me and I am working as much as you are… have a lot of responsibilities and often I am promoting you… Even those of you who are not receiving cash to help get there are getting the advantage of our organisation, our promo, backline, flyers CD etc etc… everyone is benefitting. Helps build the association – 6 years of hard work has gone into getting us to where we are now.
