this is tidal wave from the Twitter they'e asked do you find a booking agent or do they find you
very quick answer because we've done a lot on booking agents but you can find
booking agents but again this comes down to very very simply a question another
question which is I'm facing the music industry people are always facing the
music industry if I want a booking agent well if you want a booking agent it all
comes down to proof if you can put on a show and you can get 500 people to your
show the booking agent will find you if you're approaching booking agents and
they're saying we're not interested is because they don't think that you're a
valuable option for it so there's gonna be a little bit in between where you're
like maybe we could get a booking agent and we can schmooze them but
don't forget in the music industry it's their job to try and find out this
stuff the music industry is watching at all times it's their job that is of
what's left of the music industry but they're not just sat waiting for
a for a phone call they don't want that they want to they want to hear about
bands on the grapevine and go that sounds quite good and then go down and
go fuck me this is this is really good this works but for me the question is
you're facing the music industry again with that question you are saying I want
to get a booking agent and I'm not ready because if you were completely
ready they would find you so it's like how can I jump to get a booking agent
because it's their job to find this stuff out if you want to find a
booking agent it's very very simple you need to be able to put on shows and get 200
plus people to your shows you need to video that show so you've got proof of
it and you just need to send it to a booking agent and go fucking check this
shit out you know so by which time they would have heard about it they would
have come to your show because that's their job to do that so for me
concentrate on getting the numbers to the gigs and the booking agents will
find you out so you're doing it you're already doing the work but just
you know it's the same thing with a label exactly the same you can say it
with everything does the label find you or do you find the label
I mean in 1995 you found the label because you had to send your CD in and
you lived in Swansea where I'm from and you have to send this because
they're not gonna find out by that nowadays of course they'll find out like
I talked to people in the industry all the time they live in their
car they're traveling up and down the motorways all the time going and seeing
gigs go and seeing bands hearing something going online checking
out going oh this could work going to a gig that's what they do
but if you point every time you point towards the music industry every
decision you make you'll make it with the music industry in mind
instead of the audience in mind and going back to the Taylor Swift thing at
least what she's doing is she's got the audience in mind instead of the music
industry in mind so you've got to face the audience you've got to look after
your audience and if you can find ways of getting people down to your
shows then it will grow it'll grow and the music industry will
come and find you as it always does
