The Best Reasons to Invest in Banshee:
1) Our music. We are a unique band. There are not many Celtic bands around and we take this rarity seriously. We work hard to create songs that exemplify our genre and appeal to a wide range of people. We test our new music often through live gigs to sharpen our skills and gauge interest. However, even if you aren’t a fan of Celtic music, don’t rule us out. Our CDs will work perfectly as gifts.
2) Our skill. We are a professional band of 6 musicians and many of us play more than one instrument, so there is no need for us to hire additional session musicians when we get to the studio. As a result, we can record on a smaller budget, allowing us to use more of your investment for production, promotion, and extras for the LeCD.
3) Our experience. We have extensive studio experience and understand that every single hour costs money. Because we have already learned the ins and outs of recording, we won’t waste the budget learning how a professional studio works. We also have experience organizing, negotiating, and promoting our own gigs. As a result, we know how and when to get our name out so that we can sell our music and ultimately, earn you a return.
4) Our fan base. We have an established fan base in Poland. We play approximately 50 gigs and 10 festivals each year with an average attendance of 200 people and sales of up to 80 CDs per event. This fan base will grow as we branch out through the rest of Europe.
5) Our timing. We realize that after hitting $50K we are going to have a very small window by which we can harness the attention of television, radio, and print media. It is essential that we use this opportunity wisely and we are already putting together a promotions plan that will be ready to launch immediately after we earn our full budget.
6) Our ability to market ourselves. We have constructed a Polish and English language website, where we sell 10 CDs per month. In addition, we sell CDs and promote Sellaband at concerts, and we provide steady updates to our fans. Our mailing list consists of a few hundred people already.
7) Our infrastructure. We have an already build infrastructure. At locations where we have previously played, we will not only play again, but we are forging long-term partnerships. Five of our current venues have already committed selling our CDs and are considering pre-purchasing them via Sellaband.
8) Our partnership with you locally. We think the partnership principle on Sellaband is very important and are proposing deepening it by helping you sell your CDs locally, such as through Irish Pubs, we will utilize our similar experiences to walk you through the best process for partnering with those venues.
9) Our partnership with you at our concerts. We want to help you sell your CDs. As a result, we are offering to sell them for you at our gigs. Just send them to us and we will take care of the rest. By doing this, you will also keep all of your revenue from SAB advertisements and sales on your account. We realize this proposition will require some detailed planning and we are fully prepared to manage this properly, beginning with finding a way to decrease the shipping costs of the CDs by having a point person in each country for you to ship your CDs to, eliminating the need for international delivery costs. From there, we will handle delivery of the CDs in bulk to Poland.

We are playing plenty of gigs around Poland, and our abroad activities are ... how to say... not enough often :)
We tried to manage a tour in Germany last year but from here using only phonecalls and emails its not so easy (besides german is difficult language).
At the moment we decided to look for tour organiser.
Well, so - if you think energetic celtic playing is good thing to be listened in your counrty, maybe you could do some work for us?
FIrst, check if you like our music, thats essential for good cooperation :)
If youd like to arrange for us some gigs in your country - pls give me a word.
We support: plenty of promotional stuff, EPs,any help ypud need and we could provide, not big financial requirements, fair provision for organising, own soundengineer and probably many others.
We expect: knowledge of places where to play in your country, good contact, optimistic personality :), and finally - no intention to screw us over with money :)

Don't know what to say about Banshee but I am very happy their music gets a chance around here, it really deserves it! |

I always thought that Celtic Bands lived in Ireland. Since I have listened to the great music of Banshee Celtic Band I know: the greatest Celtic Band is from Poland! |

| Greenheart CD - Banshee Celtic Band | 17.06.08 | 125 |
For each CD EP Greenheart sold at our shows and via www (from march 2008), we invest one part. You can estimate how many SAB albums we could sell - with proper marketing (we dont do any marketing besides of playing gigs so far). We started to invest this way march 2008. |
