Earlier in the day, I sent out a general music questionnaire to various friends and family (particularly fellow BAGD students) to both Facebook and Twitter to gauge an overview of popular music tastes that my influence the progression and development of my proposed designs for the hypothetical Orange Juice 'Rip it Up' promotional tour, and to which particular audience would be most suitable to cater my design, and to proposed idea to.

Live gigs; more personal, and you can see more!

Some really interesting information sourced, particularly noting the variation of music tastes, but all within the Indie/Rock persuasion, which is well suited to Orange Juice's own musical genre and discography, with a willingness from an equal balance of young males and females to spend around £15/£20 on a ticket, even to see a band or performer whose music they've never heard before, and travelling around 2 miles to see them.
In the planning for proposed tour dates, this will help to research several venues within a 2 hour radius of one another (by car/train) as well as ensuring that the promotional design is kept general neutral and youthful, which is perfectly suited to Orange Juice's sound and style within the 1980's.
