Narrative
Take a client headlining for the first time: a sold-out 300-capacity venue in Manchester, with a , a tour manager, a hired crew, and an opening act below them on the bill.
That team makes the night possible. It also means the £6,000 on the door is carved up several ways before the artist sees a penny of it, and, separately, the opening act pays the artist's camp for the slot. Reading that correctly is the whole job.
