South Caribbean Music and Arts Festival

June 30th, 2008

The South Caribbean Music and Arts Festival is held each year in a scenic Costa Rican town called Puerto Viejo, which is near the town of Manzanillo. Although Costa Rica is home to a great number of exciting festivals, the South Caribbean Music and Arts Festival is one of the highlights of the year. International visitors who have attended the Festival have highly recommended it. Indeed, it is an exotic and delightful offering of a blend of music amidst an idyllically beautiful background. Music lover or not, you are sure to be entranced by what you hear and see.

Explore the UK Outdoor Festivals

May 23rd, 2008

There are billions more to Great Britain music festivals this summer that The Great Escape. From rock by the seaside at Wakestock to folk and acoustic sounds at Cambridge, British Isles festivals vibe is in tremendous health. Tickets for old favourites like Love Music Hate Racism and Festival without Fields continue to go like hot cakes, & with Usher on the Isle of Wight, Michael Jackson at Love Music Hate Racism & Jay-Z at Glastonbury the the UK’s festivals are appealing to a larger demographic range than ever before. Time Out offer the very best Summer Festivals tickets online.

What do folk wish from a music festival? Is it pleasant dance music so festival goers can have fun all night, ear ringing heavy metal music for serious moshing or some astonishing soft folk music while you bask in the sun? What’s farther vital really is the type of surroundings that one are seeking for, the artists & the facilities, all of which at different festivals vary a lot. The principal music festivals gets into swing usually at the end of March beginning of May they happen up and down the British countryside so there are always going to be a great festival that is nearby to festival lovers. There are not really ever any complaints as festival hunters of course are going to select a stunning festival that matches festival hunters and what people are seeking for.

The 1 st time festival goers attend a superb festival from the very minute festival hunters walk in the grounds to set up your tent accommodation you can often feel this fabulous buzz. Festivals usually seem to get funnier year after year. The only disadvantage that appears to get discussed year after year are the massive cost and price of food and drink then again this cant be helped. Folk are no allowed to take any of your own kebabs or beer onto the festival grounds but one are allowed to carry it into your campsite so it makes sense to eat and drink all you can before stepping into the festival grounds this way folk should be able to stop from spending hundreds of money What makes a fine festival great is for obvious reasons the the super weather, the incredible atmosphere the bands and the fierce memories that festival hunters are bound to make along the way.

How to promote a concert

May 20th, 2008

Have you been kind enough to offer your help but now are struggling to know just how to promote a concert?

It’s not that difficult once you apply yourself to the task and really, everything is just common sense. It’s just that you haven’t had to consider it before!

Firstly, time and timing is very important.

Treble check the date of the concert so that there’s no confusion there. (It has happened) Then make sure that any publicity is printed and ready to be displayed in plenty of time. This allows for hold-ups at printers, weekends, bank holidays etc.

You want a good return on ticket sales so don’t leave publicising the event till the last minute. Things like” book now to avoid disappointment” and “when they’re gone they’re gone” are good stock phrases to use.

The design of any posters, flyers or leaflets that you create is vitally important. They have to meet the A.I.D.A criteria. Not sure what that is?

A=attention
I=interest
D=desire
A=action

Basically, the design needs to be good enough/bright enough/unusual enough to attract everyone’s attention. But especially the attention of your target audience.

Some research into what’s grabbing that particular age group’s attention would be a good idea when it comes to promoting a concert.

There should definitely be something of interest in the flyer etc too. Not just a blatant advert. Add some interesting fact, an anniversary of something, the fact that this is a return by popular demand or similar.

Then you’ve got to make the audience want to come – the concert’s got to be unmissable. Why? Use your imagination because people act on their desire.

Finally, if all the above works, then your audience will decide to come because all that’s left for them to do is take action!

Be sure to get this promotional literature everywhere that the potential audience will see it, including the venue itself.

If you or some helpful volunteers are putting flyers out yourselves, it’s best to stick them at around eye level for maximum effect.

Get them in local shops, libraries, shop & café noticeboards, colleges, schools( if that’s the relevant age group), Uni’s, local government halls, council offices, village halls, supermarket & mall boards.

Like I say, any where and everywhere.

Obviously get a good deal on your printing costs if you’re really going for it & don’t worry if you sometimes have to compromise on quality as a ‘rough’ effect for some publicity flyers can have a good unusual effect.

I could go on as there are lots of angles to look at & this has just been a taster on how to promote a concert. But I hope it helps.

Roles of Guitar in Bluegrass

May 12th, 2008

There are the two roles the guitar plays in bluegrass and old-time music: rhythm and lead. The most important role of the guitar in bluegrass and old-time music is that of a rhythm instrument. In fact in the early days of bluegrass, the guitarist in the band never took a lead break. Now lead guitar breaks are common, but consider this: If you were playing guitar in a five piece bluegrass band, and in every instrumental song, each instrument took a lead break–you’d be playing rhythm guitar 80% of the time and lead guitar only 20% of the time. For vocals you would be playing lead even less.

Where to go in Iowa to hear the best misic

February 25th, 2008

The Iowa travel guide lists many places to see a concert around the state. The Wells Fargo arena is the largest of the venues and can seat several hundred thousand people and I’ve been told there isn’t a bad seat in the house. There have been many top performers that have played there as well as a few of the lesser known artists. Just forty five minutes north of there is the Iowa State University campus. This is the place to go in central Iowa to see the latest up and coming artists. College campuses have always attracted these sorts of people as well as other more well known artists. On the eastern side of the state the University of Northern Iowa has the best facilities to put on a show. There is a concentration of people on the eastern border so it is not surprising that there would be a venue on that side of the state. The western side of the state doesn’t really have a large venue, but just across the river is Omaha. That is where western Iowa fans go to view their favorite bands. And I can’t forget one of the best venues – the Iowa State Fair. For ten days out of the year the grandstand is filled to overflowing with a different attraction each evening.
