Venue Research

For my print based task I am creating a poster for the artist's debut album, but I am also creating a half page tour flyer to promote it.
In preparation to creating this flyer, I needed to do some research into venues that would be appropriate for the genre of music that she plays and for the amount of people that may attend the concert.
Because she is a folk singer-songwriter, the best venues for her to play would be relatively small, intimate places where she can interact better with her audience. Also because this would be her first official tour with the debut album, it would be expected that not many people would know or listen to her music yet. Therefore, smaller venues would be best.
The picture below shows some websites that I looked at in order to get my research about appropriate venues:

 Here are the places that I have decided to choose:

1.) Olympia Theatre, Dublin - 1,600

2.) O2 ABC Glasgow, Glasgow - 922

3.) O2 Leeds Academy, Leeds - 2,800

4.) The Ritz, Manchester - 1,500

5.) The Leadmill, Sheffield - 900

6.) Albert Hall, Nottingham - 750

7.) The Institute, Birmingham - 2,000

8.) O2 Academy Bournemouth, Bournemouth - 1,800

9.) The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 500

10.) Concorde 2, Brighton - 600

11.) Koko, London - 1,500

12.) Shepherd's Bush Empire, London - 2,000

I feel it would be best to do more shows in London as it is the place where music is celebrated and experienced much more than in other places in the UK.
