LIVE: WHERE ARE YOU AT?

10/03/25 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

As part of a series of workshops designed to help you with your live activity and also to see how Future Yard can play a part in your development as a live, performing artist or band, this session will help you establish where you are currently at and practices you can implement to grow this part of your project.

AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT
We will be looking at how we can establish the size of your current audiences and explore practices we can implement in order to grow these numbers.

LIVE OPPORTUNITIES
We will explore live opportunities that we have at Future Yard along with what is on offer to you beyond Birkenhead. This will help identify what you should be putting yourself forward for and how to do this effectively.

DEVELOPING A TRACK RECORD
We experience obvious competition for choice live opportunities. We will be looking at what it useful to have in you back pocket that can be added to your pitches and enquiries that will give you the edge over other bands or artists seeking out the same slots.

GETTING SELECTIVE AND SAYING NO TO OFFERS
Our ambition and drive to do well can often skew how we view an opportunity that is presented to us. We can often say yes to things thinking that if we say no, then it will ruin a burgeoning relationship with a promoter or a venue. We will be discussing how to look below the surface of an offer and determine if we should do it, or we should decline it. We’ll also look at good ways of declining offers that keep the door open for further opportunities.

FUTURE PLANNING
We should be looking at the activity we undertake as stepping stones that help us get closer to our goals. We will explore how we can put together future live plans and targets and what we need to put around them to help them become viable options to stick in to our timeline.

YOUR APPROACH TO PROMOTERS AND VENUES
We’re going to finish this session with some basic best practice of contacting and following up with promoters and venues, including how to continue relationships post-show.
