You want to play a concert and are looking for bookings? How about organizing your own show? Maybe inviting others along? At this Music Pool evening we want to look into the ins and outs of organizing a concert and the different activities associated with it: finding the right venue, making a budget, dealing with Gema, insurance etc., renting equipment, putting a team together, making a lineup, promoting the show and so on. In particular, we want to look at concerts at a smaller scale. We have invited concert organizers to share their experiences and insights with you from their different perspectives - booking shows in a venue, promoting concerts of other bands, and organizing shows as a musician.
