Booking Reality: Spotify Numbers Lie 🤯
Booking truth: A band can have 40k Spotify listeners and still not sell tickets.
We look harder at where those listeners are and when they last toured.
Vanity metrics aren't as important as a lot of bands think they are.
Getting out and playing is.
A return to Mote Park for Ginger and The Wildhearts as they make their Maid of Stone debut on Sunday 19th July. If the recent shows are anything to go by, the rejuvenated line-up are in great form and this set will be a definite weekend highlight. British rock at its chaotic finest.
