Mismanagment

[Scott Heller]

I have been following this thread and can't hold back from giving my
opinion. I don't think that the local promoters can be blamed for the lack
of ticket sales completely. It must be the bands management that is in
charge of putting out national ads in the big magazines so that people find
out about the tour in general. The local promoters should do there part
locally but should not be responsible for putting ads in Kerrang, NME,
Sounds, etc... Doug Smith has to do that stuff. Also, it should be the band
management that selects promoters who will actually promote the gig. If
there is not local promotion then the band mangement should be find some
one else. Doug Smith after 25 years in the biz should know every fucking
promoter in england and who he can and can't work with. HW has always had
unorganized management, so why change now.. I would not be suprised if the
whole tour was scrapped because it is too muc work for the management!

Just my thoughts.....
