Rock and blues has its own routine. When you speak to the booking person they’ll want to know where the band has played and how many people you can get to come to the gig. If you think you’ll want to play there more than once I don’t recommend lying about the number of people. I’d rather say I’m not sure how many people will come than alienate them by not having a good turnout after I’d promised one. According to Julie Flanders, “We have always been very honest with the clubs about the numbers we could bring in. It helped us develop better relationships and be taken more seriously.”
