BBC Introducing industry roles clip -What are the roles in the music industry
The role of a music promoter is primarily to put on and promote live shows. The scale of these varies dramatically - you could book an acoustic solo act to play in a local cafe, put on a monthly local bands night in the upstairs room of a bar, run shows booking national acts at various venues or work for a large promotion company booking arena shows for major international touring acts.
