Clarky Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I've emailed about a half a dozen times to his management team (you can't send CDs) with an array of attention-grabbing titles (eg, Top-rated UK voodoo swamp blues band with zombie clowns, what's not to like?). Heard nada back. I suspect you neeed promoters behind you to do some palm-greasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I heard the record company pays.......no idea if its true.....but wouldn't be a surprise if it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Jools never used to do the selection, it used to be Mark Cooper. Don't know if it still is - watch the credits and get the names of the producer, exec producer and any researchers you can and plug them. An artist I once worked with manged to get Jools to get him on as a favour as they were big buddies. We at the record company then got a real ear bashing from Cooper saying it wasn't up to Jools who went on the show!! And no, the record companies didn't pay back then although there are sometimes deals where the record companies will pay the session musician fees, but don't think this is the case with Jools.

Ou7shined Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Who ever booked Glasvegas for the show needs boot in the nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 JH has got "producer" credits these days but he never used to pick the artists and probably still doesn't. They did an "unsigned" spot a few years ago, but I haven't seen that for awhile. Looks like you've got to be a touring US act then you'll get on with no trouble.

zero9 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It might be easier to get your band on 'come dine with me...' (other shows are also available). ;-) Wil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeyboro Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I've noticed many of the singing acts that get on Strictly are represented by the same publicity agent. Caro Emerald...don't make me laugh! And Radio 2 did exclusive programme deal withUniversal band U2, only for Lesley Douglas the controller to swan off to a job with them. So I have no doubt it's all corrupt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were way too tight for a band that claimed they hadn't played together for 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm guessing that the record company/management or whoever probably pays a substantial amount to get on the show. That's how it works a lot of the time,even with major support tours and festivals,so I can't see a high profile show like that being much different.

Gareth Hughes Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 From what I've heard from folks I know who have played on the show, it's simply a case of they either like you or they don't. There is no buying on to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton346 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 From what i understand, its a lady called Alison Howe that books the lineups for Jools' show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The singer and guitarist in my band got on cash in the attic a few years ago (they're married). And they got to sing a song too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
