Review
Whether you're a community organizer staging a fundraising event, a fan bringing a favorite artist to town, or a professional producer looking to expand your audience, this book could mean the difference beteween hosting a costly flop or a professional, inspiring, income-generator. Written by the combined efforts of many organizers and producers over the years, this how-to for organizing concerts tells you what you need to know about event planning (setting production goals, working with artists, bookings, halls, tickets and pricing); publicizing your event right down to the concert program/adbook and actual event production (staffing requirements, sound, lighting and the day of the show). A final chapter addresses everything else, from childcare accessibility to fundraising visas. Special appendices include sample contracts and accounting ledgers to keep everything legal, safe and within budget. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by PH
