How do I contact music promoters in my country

Ladywriter1968

Ok here goes, you have helped me on here before but this is a strange request for help.

I would like to see Jerry Lee Lewis in concert in London and I spoke to them on line on a site and they said that I have to contact the promoters in my country and the promoters to contact GREG ERICSON to get him over here for concerts. As he still performs in USA.

I am not in showbiz and have no idea about this, does anyone know who the promoters are of London UK? or main promoter etc?

I didnt know where else to ask. Maybe some one here knows about this stuff or knows who promoters are for UK.

Thanks.

I've no idea about promoters, but personally I'd just subscribe to his website, and maybe somewhere like Ents24 to be advised when dates are announced. At least then you could try & be first in the queue when they go on sale.

Google 'concert promoters london', and a list of the members of the Concert Promoters Association is on the first page.

Some serious googling would probably do the trick, but don't you think if there were A - demand for him to play, and B - a tidy profit likely to be made, someone would have brought him over on a regular basis before now?

When did he last play here?

I think it was quite a few years ago, when he last played over here. not sure how long exactly.

Most London venues are operated by one of very few promoters - O2/AEG for instance. Find the venue size you think he'd fill, find venues that put on similar artists at that size, ask the venue to put you in touch with that promoter, and ask.

Twitter, Facebook, get friends and other fans to do the same. If a promoter see's that there's a market for a tour or concert they may get them over.
