We've been thinking of practical ways
we can help promoters - with every aspect of hosting a rural touring event. One
thing that comes up a lot when we talk about rural touring is hospitality.
Lots of Rural Touring
promoters feed artists with a homemade meal before their show!
Sounds like a lovely, simple thing,
right? But when you consider the logistics of this it can be quite the task...
Whatever you make has to:
- Often feed a fairly large
number of people - the artists, stage manager, the promoter, any other
volunteers that have come along to help.
- Has to meet any dietary
requirements people have - vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies
- Usually has to be made in
advance - and easy to heat up, kitchens in rural touring venues come in
all shapes and sizes!
- Be fuss-free - so that the
promoter and the artists can eat without it getting in the way of making
sure the show the show goes up on time!
We thought it might be good to
collect some easy. batch cook recipes that promoters are using all in one
place... and it doesn't have to be just promoters that send us ideas - artists
what do you want to eat when you're on tour? If you have a dietary requirement
what's an easy thing people can whip up for you that they might not have
realised is suitable?
If you have any recipes or tips you'd
like to share with us, please comment below. They could be links to other
recipe sites, advice, or just preferences on biscuits!
Or email us admin@nrtf.org.uk - who knows maybe one day
we could publish a Rural Touring Recipe Book!
Ps. obviously it wouldn't be a blog
post about rural touring and food if we didn't mention cake, we'd also love to
hear your sweet recipes!
