shetlandpeat Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 We run similar events down here, it is about community cohesion and increasing footfall into local shops and businesses. This year, our first event had over 3,000 attend. We use multiple venues, 21 this time, with four sets per night over two nights. A couple more to do in other towns, so far it has increased the profiles of bands, got them on local TeeVee and various radio stations and has provided a welcome boost to the high street. The venues were accessed via wearing wrist bands at £5 each. Money going to bands and venues and costs. We did not have any complaints.... Using music to promote areas that need a boost is a great way of enhancing everyones profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
