In our new "£10 Commission" promotion, Elite Acts is matching up solo singers with available dates for bookings at some of our venues, specifically pubs.
It works like this: On our website, we have a list of solo singers, with a short profile, setlist, photo and a couple of demo tracks.
Step 1. Our pubs tell us which dates they have available and the singers they're interested in.
Step 2. We contact the singers with the information.
Step 3. The singers then contact the pubs independently, who will be expecting the call, so it shouldn't be too difficult a conversation.
There is no written contract as such, just the proof in the emails that we introduced the singers to the venues and that a one-off £10 booking fee is applicable, which can be paid either by cheque or Paypal transaction before or after the performance, that's up to the singer (in the event of cancellations, pre-performance fees will be refunded).
Our venues are often long-term clients of ours, as we hope our new singers will become, so we feel confident our new promotion won't be abused by fee-dodgers. It's only a tenner after all and we don't ask a fee for repeat bookings at the same venue. There are no conditions, the singer's fee and playing times are agreed independently of Elite Acts.
Drop us a line if you're interested and provide us with the following (If you have no demos, I'm afraid we cannot help you):
Provide us with either:
1. A link to your website which MUST contain a short profile or write-up on the singer, a setlist, a photo and at least 2 demo tracks.
or:
2. All of the above sent instead by email (or a mixture of website and email content).
Once we have worked with you through this promotion, we can offer you a free profile page on our website.
Sorry to point out the following, we realise it won't apply to most people:
We're extremely busy, so please can you make this process as quick and efficient as possible. Please read this message carefully before responding as we anticipate a high response and we haven't got time to go over things again.
Thanks for your time, we hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
