How To Book A Tour - Part 2
Once we are a bit more comfortable with the booking process and the workflow it’s time to set up a longer tour, perhaps cross some borders and explore the possibilities of building a team around you.
In the second part of this course we will book a two-week tour and cover topics like:
How to negotiate the fee,
How to create a good workshop
Applying for grants,
Routing and logistics
How to deal with empty dates.
Promoting the concerts,
Working with a publicist, booking agent or a manager.
I will demystify the process of booking longer tours, show you how to create the right workflow and help you to prepare your band to start working with a team.
