Ever wondered if your band name and press shots make a difference? Artists playing The Great Escape, believe me I am currently making decisions based on those two things, cannot get through the line-up otherwise 😁

Usually just stones on the beach in Worthing but sometimes when the tides are right they uncover the sand

Worthing beach - stony at the top then breaking into sand before you reach the sea. The water looks cold and the sky has pink and white shades. One person walking in the distance.

Excuse me for asking but why is Tom Meigh*n still getting booked, presumably with ticket sales? And no thank you, I don’t want to cover his show, not interested in promoting those kind of hits 🤷‍♀️

Siobhan @16beasleyst.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I don’t use Threads but links keep popping up on Insta. There’s a photographer on there asking other photographers to post 2 images so he can mark them as ‘masterpiece’, ‘very good’ or ‘could do better’. And no, I’ve never heard of him. Entitlement much.
