Some lessons from Tony Cliff, founder of the Socialist Workers' Party, which promoters and unsigned bands might take to heart:
- There's no use burying your head in the sand and saying 'there'll be 20 people there'. Much better to admit that 7 people are going to turn up, and work hard to get an 8th.
- Don't mistake grand names and attitudes for actual popularity. Tony Cliff was once introduced to a woman who claimed to represent 'The Pan African Liberal Christian Women's Movement for Democracy and Freedom'. His first comment was: 'I hope there are as many members of this organisation as there are in its title'.
