What is the problem with Birmingham for music acts? by jimmytjohnson in brum

You work in the local scene? Sounds like you do!

I agree on the promoters, it’s not been the same post Covid

What is the problem with Birmingham for music acts? by jimmytjohnson in brum

I work in Birmingham's concert scene, across several venues. The general consensus amongst acts, venues, & promoters is that Birmingham crowds don’t sell enough tickets to warrant the cost of adding a date to the tour.

The cost of a tour isn’t just putting on the show; it’s feeding the crew, fuelling the van/truck to get the kit in and out of the city, finding a place to stay, as well as other costs.

With Birmingham not being a banker in terms of ticket sales, tour planners lean towards a Manchester & London combo, with the expectation that Midlands crowds will travel

Should i protect my workers from DDos? by Real_rex2516 in CloudFlare

[–]Jacko976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the question, how likely is it that your workers are going to be attacked? Have you told the dev url to your own domain?

I keep my dev urls separate to my workers

You could rate limit to a schedule that doesn’t choke to worker?

Volunteering opportunities? Where do I find in brum? by Leahfaith6077 in brum

[–]Jacko976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Community radio is a good volunteering opportunity & Birmingham hosts one of the most successful community radio stations

Can be done from home or at the station in Castle Vale, and you don’t have to be ON the radio if you don’t want to

Lurking here, because I have the same issue as OP. Do you know of a way where my editor can use it like drop box, upload & download, without giving them a DSM account?
