MAY TOUR - STREET TEAM HELP REQUEST

Albums, singles, songs and general Ginger banter

Postby Ean » 18th Mar 09, 13:32

How about changing the 'Supported by', to 'With support from' or 'Special Guests'?

If you weren't a Ginger fan, you wouldn't know that he'd done Acoustic tours to be expecting this to be one?

Most people's musical knowledge of Ginger extends to the fact that he's in The Wildhearts who are noisy - outside these walls, he's not that widely known for acoustic shows - and they'll expect more of the same.

You only really have to plant the idea - if someone's interested enough not to dump the flyer straight away, all the information they'll need is at the end of the links they'll have to use to get tickets anyway.

ok i'll have a look at the wording when i get time. this is for a big poster so the flyer could have more details. i was going to make a black & white flyer for easy photo copying.

I'm happy to make one per tour date but I don't have somewhere to host full size files for download. any ideas?

We might be able to use the same space that Kris used to host the original image - I can ask.

Or failing that, I can upload them to my rapidshare account.

The last Ginger solo electric tour did state it was Full Electric Show on the tickets, not sure about the posters. Stick some pics of the album covers along the bottom of it perhaps, there'll be many an opportunist purchaser got valor or yoni from the suns review - might jog/jig memories?

incidentally....it sure is one hell of a picture of the main man....if i didnt know of him id be tempted to go just to see what hes like....itd be a shame not to take full advantage of his persona and let the general public know there could be some hell raised on stage

If there's a poster per date I'm happy to host them and link them from the Gigs pages on the websites etc.

Well, the London gig Just got a major plug in the O2 Academy weekly update email I just got - One of 10 'featured gigs' seemingly (well, they get a little picture next to the gig details anyway).

Cool, thanks Kris. I've not got time to do them tonight but I should be able to get on it tomorrow.
Thanks for all the venue info Ean, I had found a lot of the venue website links through Last.fm but not all. I shall start with the ones we have full details for and hopefully the rest will be confirmed shortly.

Final thoughts on wording?
How about: 'Ginger + full live band, with special guests Laika Dog (featuring Tony Wright of Terrorvision)' ?

Try it out and see how it looks?

I just thought that if Ginger was particularly bothered about having the presence of a backing band mentioned on the poster, he would have had it put on originally.

They might well be 'corkin' names', but they might just as well be made up for all they'll mean to anybody. Herbie Flowers is a corkin' name, and a great musician, but if his name turned up on a poster 99% of people couldn't tell you why he was famous without googling it.

It might help to shift a few tickets to their mums, but that's about it. The names of the backing band aren't important to casual listeners until such time as Ginger introduces them on stage, then they'll go: "Oh, he's quite good/average/a bit rubbish" and immediately forget who they are.

Shadow - don't worry, i did ask for feedback. I see your point about them having ace names, but I'm also trying to look at this from the point of the person reading the poster when it's up on a wall. They're not going to remember all the details, you'd see that Ginger was touring, think 'cool - when?' and then take note of the date and venue. You'll probably know the venue if you're local, and then want to buy tickets. Any other details won't get remembered unless you have a photographic memory. I imagine folk will prrobably look online if they want to know more. Then they can come here and read all about it.

this sounds like its turning into a campaign....it aint cos this is my last on the subject.....vickyp asked for opinions so i gave.....ean think youre wrong mate...as ive said before ive been to a few G solos that have been poorly attended so every extra punter helps.....i know just from the board that jase n denzel will add punters...maybe their mams as well like you said.....im probably buying tickets for 3 gigs and its not cos i hero worship G....yeah i lke a lot of his stuff...aint into laika dog.....im turnin up to see a crackin band.....G hasnt got a name for his band so their names up there lets everybody know the full package and itll look better.....only thing is i aint technical so maybe its too much work....thats it....finished....phew
