What makes you book/promote a band?

Blunt answers are the useful ones. Bands can take it.

How the decision gets made

Question 1

A band you've never heard of gets in touch. How long do you spend on them before you know whether it's a yes or a no?

Your first instinct is the honest one.

Question 2

What's the first thing you look at?

One answer. Whatever you genuinely reach for first.

Question 3

Of the new bands you book, roughly what share did you go out and find yourself, versus bands who came to you?

New meaning ones you hadn't worked with before, so leave the regulars out of it. A rough feel is fine, just drag the slider.

They all approach meI find them all
Question 4

When you're actively looking for a band, where do you look?

Tick as many as apply.

What loses them the gig

Question 5

What makes you stop reading, or delete a band's email?

Tick as many as apply. This is the one bands most need to hear.

Question 6

Of those, which is the most common?

The one you hit most often, not the worst one.

Question 7

Which is worse: a band with no live video at all, or a band with a bad live video?

Question 8

How much does a band's social media following affect whether you book them?

In your own words

Question 9

What's the one thing bands most often get wrong when they approach you?

A sentence is plenty.

Question 10

And what makes you say yes quickly?

The thing that makes it easy.

Question 11 (optional)

Anything else bands should know that I haven't asked about?

Leave it blank if nothing springs to mind.

Last bit

Question 12

Can I mention your name in the session?

Either way your answers get used. This is only about whether your name goes with them.

That's it. Thank you, genuinely. If you'd rather just reply to my message with a couple of lines, that works too.
