Performing: The best of a PA
08 After The PA
Before you either celebrate hard or drink yourself into a state of amnesia, it's time to get some names for your mailing list.

Making the best of a PA
"The best way to compile a mailing list is by getting your staff to go around chatting to people in the club asking for their name, number, address, e-mail address etc."
Steve Gordon
Twice as Nice

If the PA was a success then any names you collect now will be potential supporters of your next gig.

If the PA didn't go down so well due to nerves or technical difficulties, then maybe the situation can be recovered with a quick mail out including a track that shows off your true skills.
