Booking Reality: Spotify Numbers Lie 🤯
Booking truth: A band can have 40k Spotify listeners and still not sell tickets.
We look harder at where those listeners are and when they last toured.
Vanity metrics aren't as important as a lot of bands think they are.
Getting out and playing is.

A return to Mote Park for Ginger and The Wildhearts as they make their Maid of Stone debut on Sunday 19th July. If the recent shows are anything to go by, the rejuvenated line-up are in great form and this set will be a definite weekend highlight. British rock at its chaotic finest.

It's hard to imagine camping in a field when the weather outside is frightful.
But if you can imagine a beautiful July summer day in Mote Park, in the best tent you can think of - you're almost there.

A Mote Park debut for a very unique blues rock band from Ireland.
From the positive comments we've seen since the announcement, we can see the band adding a lot of more the Chicken Army next July.
