Attendance Concerns

[Bluewine]

Please share any new thoughts on dealing with poor attendance at gigs. I've been dealing with it for years, yet I still struggle with weak attendance. 

 

I know it's part of the job. Take a look at the contrast we've all had to deal with.

We played 2 nights at the Chorley festival last year - Friday and a Saturday.

 

its a multi-venue thing across the town.

 

first night peaked with a ukulele orchestra and by the time we played, one couple and 6 people who I knew arrived.

 

the second night in a more “prime” venue - was absolutely rammed…

 

it’s a venue problem as well as a band concern.

I think it was merely some very inexperienced folks at the venue that thought you could just throw live music at their problem with no real thought put into it
