ABSTRACT
The would-be artists are the only people referred to in this book who will be affected by the actions of everyone else mentioned for the duration of their careers.
If the manager’s no good, the artist suffers. If the concert promoter’s no good, the artist suffers. If the record company’s no good, the artist suffers. If the tour manager, the plugger or publisher are no good, the artist suffers. If the A&R person’s no good, the artist suffers; in fact if the A&R person’s no good the artist might never have been discovered in the first place. And so on, and so on.
