    I like what you have said and thanks for the info. I have been working fests for 7 years now and I have decided to start my own. If you have any steps or ideas for contacting large acts managers please let me know. I have been blessed with a large budget but I want to make us money as well. It is like the game monopoly but with bands. Peace and Much Love Jeremy Olson is The Dude Man

    Hi!

    I’ve been running small festivals in Perth Australia for the past 7 years, and it is easier than you think! :)

    I imagine being able to read people’s minds makes it easier to organise things but you knew that already.
