OK, so last night was a wash out and it may have had something to do with venue... well guess what, we are taking our little night on tour and next month we have got the Purple Turtle in Camden. Thursday 9th June, what do you think? 3-4 top notch bands and some kind of indie disco.

hey wolfboy
won't be able to make it myself but i felt bad for your poor thread! BREATHE LITTLE THREAD, BREATHE!!
no offence but it's not the best way to promote a night in london - "last night was a washout... wanna come to the next one?"
- Wolfboy0
no, not the night was a wash out, the London drinks was a wash out. I can't promote a night on one forum that is visited by people from all over the world.
the night didn't go too bad really, plenty of people and a good time had by all.

i posted this in the last London drins thread:
well, I guess you are all wondering about how last night went. it went alright, although not as well as I expected (not your fault moth!), we spent some cash on dropping 5000 flyers with Don't Panic (those brown bags you pick up out side gigs and clubs and they didn't have as much effect as we had hoped. but the bands were great and the DJ played some great stuff.

Yeah - Don't Panic was a bit of a washout for us too - however, Creative Review seems to think some editions are now collectors items, but that doesn't help the fact that we've only had a 1% return...
...or, maybe it's just that what we offer is crap. *cough, though - of course not.
Advertising in 'Blowback' magazine seems to have been a better bet, if you're trying to target 'that demographic' (ie. all the cool kids who, now that I'm old and weary, look at me with fearful impudence...)
Why did I completely miss notice of the most recent NT London Drinks? I've never even been to one! Shame, shame...

Blowback eh? we need to look into avenues like this now, we are looking for a succesful method of promotion for a small buget. I was definately disapointed with the flyers return. I might have a chance of some next to free on-the-day radio coverage next month which I think would be good.

why don't you get peple to meet up in a decent pub so you can have a laugh + hear each other talk? + then maybe move onto somink else?
if you try and arrange gig nights at leat half the chaps from nt who are willing to go wont like the same music + just wont turn up...
