Workshop - Teil 1 Das Booking

In the organizer's words:

"How to get on stage - how to get famous"
or "From the rehearsal room to the stage"

Often there are only a few seconds in which a promoter sees a band application. The first glance is often decisive.
More and more bands are meeting fewer and fewer promoters. While the top stars are looked after by a few mega agencies, there is a huge gap between them and smaller and up-and-coming bands. They are in fierce competition with each other for performance opportunities, followers and other media attention. The workshop teaches the basics of sensible promotion and introduces participants to the mindset of promoters.
The workshop does not guarantee an appearance, but it significantly increases the chances.
