Word of Mouth!

 

Magnet, Hardman street, Liverpool.

One night only!

11-03-09

 

Put your hands together or raise a glass for Jesse and Nia who managed to pull off a fabulous night of eclectic music at Magnet last week.

            Both first year management students @ lovely Lipa you can really see they are paying attention in their lectures!

            The venue itself was a great choice for a first night or a one off gig because Magnet tends to attract punters every night so they were guaranteed to get a crowd in, even it is was small. Safe bets always pay off, well most of the time and this was one such time.

            They pulled in the crowd and everyone seemed to have smiles splashed across their faces. The one thing I will say though is that the bands were on in the wrong order. Most people were there to see Dire Wolfe, a couple were there for Base Naked and no one was there to see Willy and the Surroundings. Seeing as most people were there for Dire Wolfe it would have made sense to put them on last to keep the crowds in for the other bands because after they played the crowd seemed to disappear and by the time Willy and the “half white” surroundings came on the dance floor was like a ghost town. Regardless they got them into the venue and opened them up to something new. Costing only £2 for entry who could refuse!

            Promotion on the Internet was great. Setting up a group on facebook definitely gave them the exposure they needed to pull in the crowds. Outside promo must have, also, been good because there were people there from outside of Lipa.

            Nia and Jesse took it in turns to man the door all night so I hope someone brought them a drink, they both deserved 1, or 3!

            Great night, Great line-up and great ‘up for it’ audience. Make it a regular thing and bring on the next one.
