All New 2015 Concert & Festival Promoting Manual Released

Jan. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- After 3 months of research and painstaking editing, Author and Concert/ Festival Producer and Consultant Hal Davidson, has released through his in-house publishing company, an expanded 410 page professional manual on the business of promoting both concerts and music festivals.

No other book exposes such detail in a business full of promoters reluctant to share real industry facts and methods with new promoters or the outside world.

Noticing there was no help to learn about concert promoting, Davidson wrote and sold the first concert promotions instructional manual in 1979 through classified ads in Rolling Stone Magazine. This first publication was typed then copied and bound like a college paper, primitive but informative. Twenty years later in 1999, Davidson published a collection of notes and facts in a 160 page book that would become the present "Bible of Promoting", as some of his readers would call it.

The new 2015 publication is the most comprehensive work on the business of concert and festival promoting. Davidson has updated just about every aspect of the book adding more contact information, instructions, important industry facts, contracts, agreements, diagrams, sponsor solicitation information, diagrams, plans, proposals, vocabulary, intellectual property explanations and Davidson's learned insights saving new promoters ahhravation and trouble in a very difficult and complicated industry.

The new book reveals great detail in the major components of any event, raising investment, stage production, hospitality, site design and production, relationships, ticketing, box office, conventional and online marketing, writing plans and proposals, analysis of the cost and revenue sheet, talent buying, administration, staffing, security, government considerations, insurance, terminology, event planning and management.

Davidson says "even if you're not actively promoting, the book gives someone outside the business a complete picture of what's involved in promoting, and it's much more than most people would think. It's interesting reading for anyone and is valuable to business people in other industries." Since 2000, How Not To Promote Concerts and Music Festivals has been sold in 25 countries.

Not available in stores, the Hal Davidson's incredible books are only sold online through Amazon or www.concert-promotions.com. He also authors Concert Promotions Simplified focusing on concerts only. The book also comes with a CD loaded with forms and contracts. Book are shipped within 24 hours shipped U.S. Priority Mail.

Now fireproof, tested through 4 decades of hardened experience, Hal Davidson consults and produces festivals for clients worldwide. He brings a unique toolbox of skills to any event. In 2015, he looks forward to producing a number of important festivals in North America. Hal Davidson is based in Maryland and can be reached at hal@rentapromoter.com.
