And no record company schedules to conform to! If this was a major label release, they would have already talked me out of releasing it so close to Christmas when I’d be competing for column inches with Mariah Carey and Coldplay. That would have put the tour in question. As it goes, I can make the DVD available as a special treat for fans at the gigs and from my web site, and hold off on any ‘physical’ distribution until early 2007.
I even have great photos ready to go, shot by friends who came to the gigs with a decent camera. For a small and welcome fee I am sure they will allow me use of the pics on my DVD. I can’t tell you how much better I like this seat-of-the-pants way of working, compared to the ‘proper’ Music Industry way, with the meetings and budgets and egos and huge bills to recoup!
