Hey Noel and Graham,

Thanks for replying. Graham, you may be right, but since I didn't I'll just try to throw out some things that were discussed and maybe some people can comment on them. Maybe people have done a lot of self promotion or maybe you guys are just keeping the good ideas to yourselves on this one.

I'm talking about t-shirts, bumper stickers, flyers, pens, press packets to clubs, local performing opportunites, promotional CDs--really anything that any members have used to get there music and names out there. Did it work? Were the results worth the money spent?

As to Noel's idea, I think the radio stations are so cynical, they would probably assume it was a dummy email system. I think Graham has a great idea. It seems like putting a nice face and voice to the music is always a good way to play it. You can't go wrong with trying to work the personal contacts.

Keep posting,
Ashleigh
