Firstly
can I welcome the raft of new members we have here at The
House Concert Hub this month, Ive been verifying 5 to 10
new members every day for a week now, a few of them have hosted
and/or are interested in hosting, We still need more
hosts, but there never could be enough. As ever let me know
if you would like to host and I'll help you get started and show you
how this site can be used to help, then together we can attempt
to galvanise your local members here behind your efforts,
IE If you pop your counties name in the (not to reliant) search
engine here you'd be surprise how many names will pop up, all of
whom ide would be open to contributing to a new local house
concert.
As ever I see the onus is on our artist
members, if they could all invite their Euro mailing list
to join here and we then together can try find those that will
host a concert for them. Every House Concert that is
established is a regular place to play for that artist and an other
convert to hosting for the community as a whole. You will notice
that there are a list of touring artists advertising availability in
notes.
All featured members are Hosts, however I'm
introducing "A featured artist of the
month" Selection will depend on a few criteria.
Page design & look, News , Music, Events,
and general on site activity. - I want to
encourage members to post their profile photos, choose
their page designs, drag and drop their page modules to where their
site looks banging and artists to post new music, news and events (
all of which will be continue to considered for a front
page feature ) , The better your site looks the longer visitors
will stay on the hub listening to members music and pondering the
house concert concept, the more shows will happen the more people
will go, and the more concerts we'll all have to enjoy.
