Been invited to play at a festival? Putting on gigs? Looking to play live more?
Ahead of this year’s Swn Festival, we’re inviting bands, musicians, managers and promoters to hear practical hints and tips on the nuts and bolts of performing at festivals and other gigs. The organisers of Swn are here to help you find out the essentials and understand the jargon involved with playing a show - from sorting out tech specs to learning about input lists...be clued up and prepared for what promoters may ask of you and how to make their (and your own) lives easier.
Good practice advice and discussion so you're ready and switched on from the beginning - when applying to play...right through to show time.
Led by Tour Manager Fionna Allan who's worked with LCD Soundsystem, Beth Ditto, Hot Chip, The Pipettes and The Kills amongst others. As well as working on Swn, Fionna's also been involved with Green Man Festival and the Melbourne International Film Festival.
