The first half of this year has been incredible for Farrago's live music agency! With our new hire Louis Vellacott taking the helm, we've expanded our reach, partnering with amazing venues like Soho House & Co, Bubba Hospitality Group, and Brixton Jamm. While working with new pubs, we’ve discovered a key trend: many pubs post-pandemic are struggling with razor-thin margins (as low as 0.5%). Despite the potential boost in footfall and bar sales, many pubs hesitate to invest in live music. The challenge? Uncertainty. They worry about drawing enough of the local crowd to justify the cost of the musicians. We think we’ve found a couple solutions to this problem: 1) Free Drinks Promotions: We've partnered with Diageo (thanks to Emma Hamilton and the rest of the team) on free drink promotions at select pubs. This win-win-win strategy boosted pub attendance & sales while giving Diageo valuable exposure to a passionate music audience. 2) Tap into a Wider Music Community: Farrago goes beyond local crowds. We connect pubs with a network of music fans eager to discover new artists: the Farrago community. This expands their customer base significantly. Do you know a pub or venue that could benefit from the power of grassroots live music? Visit www.farrago.club/agency to learn more or reach out to us at info@farrago.club 

After Parties and Late Nights are a great event format that can really elevate a venue and connect with different audiences. Howie Schnee shares a ton of insights in this 15-minute interview all about After Parties. Some takeaways: 🥳 Target audiences that like to stay out late (probably not great for family events, but a great new use for a traditionally family-focused spaced. Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium does a great job of this with their Late Nights at the Zoo). 🥳 Make it unique. Events are competitive. You can give yourself an edge by doing something unique. Go deeper for the fans or put a twist on something traditional. 🥳 Create partnerships. If booking talent isn't your strong suite, offer favorable terms to a local, well-connected promoter. 🥳 Support a cause the artist cares about. If you're piggy-backing off a big name performing nearby, consider supporting a cause they care about to improve relations with them and their fans. Howie dives into the details in the video below. Give Howie Schnee a follow too. He's often sharing great insights from his decades as a promoter.

My experience with the folks behind #alphaonthedelta fits the plug below... the bottom line is that the election of Trump creates an especially complicated financial landscape where the trend is no longer obvious and thus wisdom is in high demand.

In case you ever wondered how IT people party at conferences 👇👇 ➡️ They start with the keynote under disco balls and Copilot-inspired entertainment ➡️Move on with a karaoke show with Supertalent/ Eurosong vibes (Iceland: 12 points!) ➡️ Then continue at the beach party with DJs & the Gipsy orchestra 》》It's just next-level 🕺 In all honesty, that's not entirely true. Because this much fun and quirkiness is not the standard. This type of magic happens only at the DynamicsMinds.

Quite a lot of talk about how hard it is to get tickets for Oasis and the dynamic pricing - One price (£150) advertised, but massively inflated as soon as you get through. Anyone manage to get one? Just wanted to say that being in the same game (live comedy, not live music) and at a slightly smaller venue (moved to The Liffey cellar since old venue went bust - 50 seats, not 50,000) that there will be no dynamic ticket pricing at Laughing Stock Prices are based on the Oasis ticket - 150 (kronor not £) until all the acts are confirmed, then I hike the price up to a MASSIVE 175 kr which should be in the next week or so. At this point I can neither confirm nor deny the rumours that one of the Gallagher brothers will be there. Dates for your diary are: 10/10, 7/11 & 5/12 Tickets via billetto or www.laughingstock.se I think something also needs to be said about people trying to piggy back their own marketing off the current zeitgeist.

Instead, focus on creating a vibe that makes customers want to stay and play! 🎉 Think: lively music, friendly staff, and maybe a signature cocktail or two. 🍹 Want a packed house?
