3. Your ON STAGE TIME will be published on a Blog posted HERE two or three weeks before the event.

6. PA /SOUND We’ve got a basic PA system good enough for all acts up to and including a trio. If you have any special requirements please contact me before the event – and be prepared to get to The Queens by 12:15pm on the day of the event. (You can always clear off after you are happy with your sound).

7. The event is all about networking and extracting as much publicity about your music. Feel free to bring your CDs – Business Cards – Event Fliers – Club Publicity etc.

8. EVENT PUBLICITY Acoustic Rotherham handle all the local media and getting the word out around the locality of Rotherham. But we like to spread the word so the more you can plug your appearance when making Folk Club or Open Mic appearances or even concerts - the more folks might turn up on the afternoon and the more media interest there might be.

Help us by making sure that your Myspace friends or Reverbnation contacts or any of the multitude of sites artists can now subscribe to know of the event. Add it to any News letters you might send out.

9. Of course after the event it’s nice to leave comments on all the Facebook pages. You can find the page of all the participating acts on the Rawmarsh Mashers Facebook page (Rawmarsh in the Friends Section.

11. You’re not forced to sit through the entire afternoon. However, we have found that it really helps in terms of atmosphere etc. if you can give as much support as possible to your fellow performers on the afternoon.

Richard can be contacted on the day 07805699476

13. FLIERS - Watch out for down loadable fliers to help publicise the event.
