Big Sky Stringband Official Taping and Trading Policy
We encourage audience taping at our concerts. Soundboard patching is typically NOT allowed, and at no time will audience taping be
allowed to interfere with the enjoyment of other concertgoers, or the regulations of the venue. If Big Sky Stringband is playing in
an event, which features multiple bands, the taping policy of the headlining band and/or the festival event will dictate the taping
policy for that concert.
Please be prepared with battery power and all adaptors or cabling required to record. Power or other auxiliary equipment will not be
supplied. Please arrive early and always respect the wishes of the venue, band and sound crew.
All taping must be for personal and non-commercial use only. No profit is ever to be made from patrons recording our live shows. Fans
are permitted to post our shows on the Internet, or trade shows with other fans for an equal amount of media, and no money may exchange
hands except for postage required to send the media if applicable. Big Sky Stringband reserves the right to seek legal remedies against
anyone that is in violation of this policy and to alter this policy at its discretion.
