"Each act will pay a small sum to register (probably £100 Early Bird, up to £150 for late registrations) with no extra marketing costs. This money will be used entirely for marketing the Festival; graphic design / printing of the brochure, PR, flyers etc. and any other similar costs.

The bit about ‘no extra marketing costs’ is particularly hilarious, because, as it turns out, the festival also requires the musicians to submit a marketing plan detailing exactly how they’re going to help with the marketing and promotion of their gigs.

…you will need to submit an outline of a marketing plan too – how will you help us, the Festival AND the venue to fill your date?"
