We said goodbye to Rhiannon, Co-Director, this month, and are all missing her hugely. You can read her blog post here, reflecting on a decade with The Touring Network.
Our first micro-network is gathering pace. It’s become clear there are several viable groups within the membership and we are excited to see what our new Supported Programme delivers. More news as things develop.
We’re working with Data Thistle to ensure our event listings are more reliable going forward. This new benefit for members will list promoters’ events across multiple platforms, including The List and Visit Scotland, as well as The Touring Network website. If we’ve been in touch with you already, we are able to pull events directly from your website. Otherwise please upload your events for May onwards here. If you have any questions please email teri@thetouringnetwork.com.
We will be closing the office w/c 10 April for the Easter holidays. If you need to get in touch please email us at office@thetouringnetwork.com and we’ll reply as soon as we can.
Our next Network Meet-Up will be on Mon 17 April, 10.30am-12pm. Performers, this month’s meet-up will be all about you. We’re inviting you to share your tour-ready work with the network; in whatever way you choose. Promoters, come along and be inspired and get ready to start some conversations. Register here.
Toubook has had a facelift! A big plus is you no longer need to log in to view available performances. We do not manage Tourbook, though we work closely with them, and can point you in the right direction if you have any queries. Check it out.
