Customer Reviews

Don't waste your money on this book!
If you know anything at all about the live music industry then don't waste your hard earned cash on this book! There is very little insider info and a large portion of the book is simply a copy of a standard artist's contract. Standard lighting plots and PA specs also included. If your knowledge is nil, this may be helpful. If it's more than nil, don't bother.

Extremely Disappointing
Written by a SOUND ENGINEER who appears never to have organised or promoted a concert in his life, this pretentious offering provides little more than numerous undiscussed extracts from major Performance and Venue contracts, a few illustrations of some very fancy stage set-ups and basic explanations of job titles and terminology.
