----------
In this workshop Katch Holmes will look at how to best go about arranging a live tour to perform and promote your music. She will look at ways that a musician / band who is just starting out or who doesn't have an agent / manager can build festival and venue contacts, approach promoters, negotiate fees and costs, advance their shows and promote their tour.
The workshop will include breakouts and opportunities to look at and ask questions about the areas of touring that participants most want to address.
