ALRIGHT SO THIS IS HOW IT WORKS...

I found out via my mailing list/facebook that I had 60 or so people around Manchester,
England, who really liked my music. So I told a club that I could get 30 and they booked me.
50 showed up for me! Not loads but I made enough money to pay my expenses and a bit more.
Repeated this around the UK and fans got to see me play while I got to make
enough money to not work my dayjob and pay my bills!

WHERE DID THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?

People showed up from all over the place - some were fans of my old band
who had kept in touch or found out online about the gigs (most gigs have no outside
promotion - I had no budget for it). Some found out about me on MySpace when
me or someone else went around messaging people in the past. Others were friends
of fans that came for a good night out and had a great one. The point is that the
tour was possible because I had enough people who came out to see me. If I have
enough fans anywhere it will work. Thats it! And whenever people hear the music that
like my kind of music, people are becoming fans! So yeah please click and read on...
