Event production and promotion is hard work, and definitely not for the feint hearted. For people living in regional areas, it often falls to them to organise the events they would like to see happening in their own areas. Lately it seems like boutique events and festivals are popping up all over the place, so how is it that the people behind them transform their little ideas into such successes? We asked experienced promotors, venue operators and event managers their advice on what artists should consider when wanting to produce their own event/ band night/ festival, etc. Our mentors answer questions like – what are an event producer’s responsibilities, what sort of funding will you need and how will you get it, and how to attract the kind of audience you want.
