My life’s goal
is to make a difference in peoples lives around the
world through my music and performances, however as an individual, the task is
massive. Together as a collective group, our efforts
and ideas will help spread music around the globe.
If you wish to help, I have a few ideas that would
make a difference and here they are:
2. If you want to make
a fan website and help promote the
music by making a link that goes to my website that
would be amazing. Then, submitting your site to a
search engine or two is always cool, that just gets
your link to more people. If you don’t feel
like making a site, another idea is to attach a link
to your already existing website…personal or
business. It helps if you write a little comment below
recommending the music.
3. Call
local radio stations that play world
music and rave a bit about the group, requesting a
tune in the process. If they have not heard of me
and wish to have a listen, please send me an e-mail
with whom to contact and I will forward a disc and
press kit.
4. Submit
our links to music newsgroups, message
boards and any website that allows it. Please don’t
post whole MP3s anywhere though, just clips from the
record or better yet, the link http://johngilliat.com which have the clips already.
5. Let me know if you
have a lead on getting us to the press,
magazines, TV, radio stations etc.
Web publications, college newspapers, local rags,
I mean whatever. I don’t think anything is too
small; it’s all worth my time and I will follow
up. Exposure is the only way a musician can make it
these days and it all helps.
6. If you would like
to make a donation which goes toward the next record
and all advertising and publicity expenses. You can
do so by clicking the donation button. Donations are
safely accepted on my behalf though PayPal.
I can be contacted directly
by e-mail at: gilliat@shaw.ca
Thank you all for your support and efforts!
Best wishes, John Gilliat
