Vote: | Again, they can start a writing campaign to national magazines like Dirty Linen, Rolling Stone, Folk Roots Magazine, Sing Out! Magazine, Pollstar and any and all local news media and their entertainment departments. |

Vote: | Also, and this may sound nuts, but if there is any fan or group of fans that would want to sponsor even a private event or concert that would be willing to pay enough to make it a good anchor show, it is sometimes possible to use that as part of the whole picture to help get the band over here. |

Vote: | Any future tour has got to make a profit. It is a rather large effort from the band and from this agent to put all of the work that goes into organizing and executing a month-long tour overseas, and at some point the process has to do more than just get the band's name out and win a few new fans. |

Vote: | However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a " buzz " about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US. |

Vote: | However, we have not had the right record label in the US come forth yet, and there is no money for a publicist. I am over worked as it is, trying to book around 300 shows a year for 10 different artists on my roster. So it has to be a roots thing to get the band back for more than just a one off show. |

Vote: | I have been firming up and making changes in my roster for 2001. This needs to be done from now and then, to make sure what you are booking is working, and to keep a balance in your roster that works. |

Vote: | I'm glad to have been a part of getting the bookings for Lindisfarne going that resulted in the 1999 and 2000 US Concert Tours. |

Vote: | If we get a few solid festival shows then I will have no problem booking the lads for as many quality club shows around them to make a nice tour come together. |

Vote: | One special request is for Mr Reinhard Groll to make a first live performance here in Tucson, so I can thank him personally for all of his support for my efforts to get this business going in the first place. |

Vote: | Someone that is a US Lindisfarne supporter that wants to have one hell of a big birthday bash, and has a few thousand dollars just itching to be spent on a big blow out, could be combined with some other anchor shows that I might get, and then the whole thing snowballs into a tour. |

Vote: | We have done some major tours, like the 55 show tour that Equation just finished this last fall. I booked many shows and some full tours for Danu, Tarras, Tempest, The Kennedys, Equation, Old Blind Dogs, and of course Lindisfarne from late 1999 to late 2000. Around 300 shows altogether. |
