If it is the first time the artist is coming to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that simple advertises an artist or a performer will mean little to someone who has never heard of them!

Assign volunteers to post the flyers in places like ly to attract the the majority attention. Try grocery stores, Local chamber of Commerce offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shoping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other popular gathering spots where flyers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.

Radio and TV stations can be willing to anounce parties for free.

Offer  performer’s  promo material (if available) to radio stations like ly to air it.  encourage  them to play it generally especially a week or two before the performance. Have volunteers and companions telephone the stations and request more!

If you’re using an answering machine make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call in newspapaer or on the radio. Include a short message in the recordings detailing concert info.

When you’re Web, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and later, show specific information! Of course if you own a web site, think about creating a special area to advertise the concert with a hot-link to the  musician’s home page (if any).

Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or re Clubs) or to endorse the performance for publicity purposes. Assuming that they say ‘YES’ then make sure you include a ‘..co-sponsored by..’ message in the flyers and other promotional material..

In this article we’re going to briefly review one of the the majority touching performances that has been ever held for another person, The Concert For George.

There are incredibly few individuals in history who you could mention their 1st name, say the word concert and know exactly who that concert was for. The Concert For George was one of those concert s. George of course being the late George Harrison of the Beatles.

George Harrison died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001. One year later the memorial performance for this excellent musician has been held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It’s only fitting that this has been the place as Harrison has been 100 % English from the top of his head to the suggestions of his magical guitar fingers.  Many feel he has been the overlooked Beatle. Everything has been about John and Paul. But the majority critics feel that George Harrison has been the heart and soul of the Beatle’s guitar sound which has since be copied by so a lot of musicians.

The idea for the performance has been George’s wonderful friend Eric Clapton’s. Clapton and Harrison had actually been companions for a long time and 1st played together on the White Album. The song, of course, has been “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Clapton put together a memorial that Harrison himself would have smiled at.

The performance began with the daughter of one of Harrison’s excellent companions, Ravi Shankar, singing “Your Eyes.” After this song the daughter, who’s name is Anoushka, teamed with another one of Harrison’s companions, Jeff Lynne of ELO fame, to sing “The Inner Light” which was one of George Harrison’s own tunes.

The performance itself was a mixture of music and comedy, which is very unusual for a performance. The comedy was handled mostly by the ensemble of Monty Python who, along with Tom Hanks, performed “Sit On My Face” and “The Lumberjack Song” which was one of Monty Python’s funniest and the majority famous tunes.

The rest of the concert featured more of George’s friends and the remaining members of the Beatles, Paul and Ringo. additionally there were Tom Petty, Billy Preston, and Gary Brooker from Procal Harem. George’s son Dhani has been additionally on hand. If you watch the video of the concert you would swear that Dhani has been George Harrison if you didn’t know better.

The remainder of the performance featured mostly songs that were either done by The Beatles or songs that George had done solo or with other performers such as when he was with Tom Petty during his stint with The Traveling Willburys.

The tunes are a who’s who of some of the greatest tunes these individuals ever did together or separately. They included such classics as George’s signature song “Something,” the Beatles’ prefer “Is not It A Pity,” “Here Comes The Sun,” a Ringo tune that George played on, “Photograph,” “All Things Must Pass,” “My Sweet Lord,” and finishing with “I willSee You In My Dreams,” which has been an appropriate ending for the performance.

Neil Diamond Concert Blues

Hearing Neil Again

I heard about the Neil Diamond performance coming to Charlotte on December 12. I became excited and tried to buy tickets. After several hours on the Web, I realized this was going to be a treat reserved for those who may afford to pay the scavenger’s exorbitant prices for the tickets. Not that Neil is not benefit it, I just cannot afford it. Thus, my moodiness tonight. I want to hear Neil in person one last time, and cannot.

Loving Neil has been a lifetime joy of mine. He captured my heart in the 60’s with “Cherry, Cherry” and later with “Song Sung Blue” and “Stones”, and a lot of others. I saw him in performance in Charlotte in 1977. After the performance, I drove behind the coliseum, saw a bus, thought it was his and chased it all over Charlotte at high rates of speed until I lost track and was forced to go home. I honestly thought I would follow this bus to it’s destination upon which Neil would depart and walk into my arms to stay forever. I was 29 years old then.

I’m 61 now, and still have that fantasy…someday I will take Neil into my arms and convey my absolute appreciation of his talent and sensitivity. His tunes guided me through years of self-discovery, new motherhood, loss of love, and finally rediscovering myself. Regardless of my mood, Neil’s music can take me there. I nursed my babies in the wee hours of the morning to the sound of Neil, I loved my husband in the wee hours with the echoes of Neil’s music in my head, I endured my boring jobs with the beat of Neil’s music in my limbs yearning to dance, to express, to feel his words with motion. Neil always had a song that would relate to whatever has been going on with my life. I need to let him know it. I need to go to this concert. It will probably be by final opening .

The concert is a extensive deal to me. It is could a extensive deal to Neil. We’re both getting older, both needing to justify our years, both needing to be appreciated, both needing to feel that we will be remember ed. He will be remember ed for his skill, but will I be remember ed as the the dedicated, lifelong fan?

first and fore the majority there are generally 2 categories of sales for performance tickets, a general public sale, available to everyone, and a presale. A presale will take place anywhere from a week to a day before the public sale. To give an example of how this works, let’s say a performance has 1000 tickets to sell, they could have 200 tickets available through a presale and the rest will be available through the public sale. Why go for the 200 instead of the 800? Well for a extensive show, one that is going to sell out, there will be thousands of people bidding for the same tickets come the public sale, but the presale is going to be password protected, so only a limited number of people are going to be bidding for these performance tickets.

Now all you need to do is be lucky, and get a nice performance of tickets. Once you get these tickets you need somewhere to sell them, like EBay for many people. But likewise, for significant brokers, there are companies out there that will try and sell your concert tickets for you though third- gathering brokering website s.
