Whispering Sands Live Promotions, promoting live music in Second Life



We have the perfect entertainment match for your function. Are you planning a wedding, group launch, corporate team event, year-end party, charity drive, fashion show, birthday bash, an anniversary celebration? Or do you need to put your music venue on the grid? Let us manage all your event's musical needs from sourcing the artist right through to timing the performance.  We have many years of experience, a proven track record and many happy clients.

Want to book a singer or make that event special and memorable?  Talk to Us

Currently we represent 15 performers covering all Genres and time zones.  We’re in our third year of business and know how to make things go smoothly for the club owner or manager or even for individuals booking a special event.  You work hard to have a venue that people want to come too, or you want to make your event something that everyone will remember, we can help with all that and this is how........ 

If you’re looking for a specific performer or you need to fill a particular time slot, we’ll take your information and check the performer’s availability or who else may be available at the time you require.  We will contact you the relevant options for you to make your choice from.

Once you have narrowed your choices down to one or two people, we’ll contact the performers either in world or in real life and reconfirm that they do not have real life plans for the scheduled time and can physically be there to perform the show. This provides huge time benefits to our clients. Venues spend less time having to look for and contact individual performers to determine who can do the show, and performers spend less time having to get to know the requirements of new venues.  After both parties have agreed upon a date and time for the performance, Whispering Sands Live Promotions will ask the venue for a landmark for where the show will be performed and if there is any dress code required to attend the show.

And that’s not all folks… generally speaking you’d think that was it until show time, but it’s not when dealing with WSLP.  To ensure your booking goes smoothly, we reconfirm the show or event.  What that means is, to prevent confusion and possible double bookings, all of our confirmations are done by a single person.  Prior to sending out the confirmation, we double check the performer’s calendar and if available the venues calendar to make sure there are no conflicts or double bookings.
The confirmation includes all the details for the show; date, start and end time, location with land mark, performers name, venue name, the venue contact name, performer’s fee, dress code, the performer’s bio for event listing, a promo pic of the performer, and the performer’s stream details for the show. The confirmation with all of this information will then be sent to both the performer and the venue providing both parties with everything they need to know for the show.  This helps prevent any miscommunication or misunderstandings about the booked show.

Everyone understands that promoting a show or event is necessary. If no one knows about it, there won’t be anyone there. Of course the performers want as many people as possible to attend their shows to hear them perform, but this is not the primary reason we do as much promotion of the show we possibly can. The primary reason we do what we do, is because the performers are providing a paid service to the venues. Part of the service they provide includes attracting as many people as they can to the venue, and so that the venue can show both the performer and the audience what they have to offer.   

So how do we promote the show?

After a show is confirmed, we add it to both the performers’ individual calendar and to our master calendar. This adds the show to our daily schedule that is listed down the right hand side of our website which averages about 100 views a day.  On the day of the show we ensure the show is included on our daily schedule Facebook post which lists both the performers name and the venue name.  These posts average 350 to 400 views a day.  We arrange to have an individual Facebook post for the show on the day of the show and it is shared across multiple Facebook groups, twitter and Google plus. We add the show to our hosting schedule to make sure a host is present to promote the show in-world on the day.  Most importantly we ensure that the show is listed in the Second Life events search under live music. Because this requires land permissions only the venue themselves are able to do this.

The day before the booking we reconfirm calendars, check events listings to see if listed and if not gently remind venue that it needs to be done as this is where the huge majority of the people who attend shows on a regular basis look to determine which show they will attend for that particular hour.

On the day of the show we ensure all promotions are going out, that the host who has agreed to do show is taking care of her stuff... all of this to help get people to attend YOUR event.  If something happens in real life, for example health wise, and the performer we have booked for you cannot make the show, we will ensure you get a replacement performer to make sure your event still goes ahead and that you don’t have to panic about it.

Showtime is always hectic for all involved... making it look seamless and easy is our job.  We schedule everything from sending notices, letting the performer know who is following them, what they should be promoting, getting tags to rezz, greeting people as they arrive, and just making things go as smoothly as possible for you.

You will have noticed that 90% of what we do is done on behalf of the performers in order that a better quality show is provided and that they provide the best service they can offer a venue. This is why Whispering Sands Live Promotions is the only place to come when looking for performers.  The worry of chasing down artists, booking and confirming and then reconfirming and checking for issues is not your problem.  As they say...  try us, you may like us!

Please have a look around and get in touch if you would like to use our services.

Get your Spring Hunt on! – Camury Reporting...





Second Life Hunts are a favorite activity among many avatars. In most the hunts the items are free but occasionally there may be a small charge per item.
Commonly, an organizer brings together a group of stores that will define a theme for the hunt and set a hunt icon according to the chosen theme.

The hunt icons are hidden in participating stores or on SIMs.  In many instances clues or tips are supplied so that you can find the icon more easily and claim your prize. Often there is an inworld group for the hunt you have chosen.  The participants of which exchange helpful tips with one another or ask for help when a particular icon proves to be somewhat elusive.

On some hunts you get to follow a Land Mark trail. You go to the first stop, obtain the prize, and within the prize there will be a Land Mark for the next store in order for you to continue with the hunt.

Enjoy the good spring winds and have fun participating in some of the incredible hunting during the month of April.



Black, Sexy and Essential Color Hunt

This is a store hunt and the prizes consist of 10 full outfits which include a long dress, high heels and makeup. This is a $ 1 hunt and the icon that you must find to win the prizes is a black Mannequin. You can find tips for hunting on the notecard that you pick up at the store.

Hunt Dates: Apr 1 – Apr 30

Easter Hunt 2017

Quest Fur Cover

Quest Fur Cover is a grid wide hunt that takes place every 6 months bringing as many communities and stores together as possible. Quest Fur Cover is sponsored by Furry Fashion and is managed by Skyler GlassWing, Becky Doulton and Amethyst Crystal.

This particular hunt focuses on 50 furry-friendly stop locations across the grid, and the icon you must find is Hedgehog, to pick up incredible free gifts.

Hunt Dates: Apr 1 – Apr 30
Hunt Object: Hedgehog
Price: L$0 Hunt

Broken Heart Hunt

You've had a fight with your boyfriend and now you're heartbroken. Stop your crying and moping around on the couch and join this grid wide hunt  with the theme of Broken hearts, and lost love. There are 50 stops where you can find a broken black heart to win the prizes.

Hunt Dates: Apr 1 – Apr 30
Hunt Object: Broken Black Heart
Price: L$1 Hunt

Remember that hunting is not a competition. So you can find other hunters on the sites, make new friends and go hunting together. When more people gather to search, the icons can be found faster. 

Good luck!

GeekSpeak – will we lose all our online privacy? Join the Discussion Saturday April 8th at 12pm SLT



What does ‘Born in the USA!’ mean to you? Right now being American means that you have less online privacy than the people of North Korea.  Your ISP now has the right to store and to sell all your online activity, every little thing.  If you look for erotica online will you get ads for it?  If you don’t log in for a week can you expect a visit from burglars?

Probably the rest of the world will follow America.  So what will it mean when every detail of your online life can be sold, mixed, data-mined and resold on a whim?  Perhaps you think it is a good thing.  Perhaps it will stop illegal activity from being planned online.  Or perhaps you are terrified but have no idea how to fight back.  Maybe we can give you some tips.  Or maybe we should all just run for the hills.

Come and join us in GeekSpeak.  Remember though that nothing we say is private.

Spotlight on The mOBSCENE- A New Gothic Grunge Playground for Adults- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…


The Gothic and Grunge era began in the mid 90’s with bands like Nirvana, Marilyn Mansion,  Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. Not only did the music influence the era so did fashion trends.  Today the toned down version of Grunge can still be seen in “Emo” and even steampunk. For many adults today, Gothic & Grundge brings back nostalgic memories of youth in a time when going against the norm was the norm.

The MOBSCENE is a new adult rated club on the grid that celebrates Goth Grundge music.  Even if you arent a fan , you are welcome to request whatever you’d like to hear. You will be amonst new and old friends who accept you as you are.  This venue is a furry and MC club friendly. Everyone is welcome.

The entertainment doesn’t end at the various types of music played or live concerts. There are dancers, games, friendly staff and lots of naughty fun to be had.
The SL Enquirer sat down with owner William Scott (wheelz52583) and Manager Steph (irenehurst)  to learn more about The Mobscene.

What inspired The Mobscene Club?   The owner Halen (schminke) had a dream about Marilyn Mansion  and  that is how  mOBSCENE was born.

What type of activities and events can guests expect to see? Diffent things from  concerts to great DJs to partys as well as what our event manger/asst manger  Avina come up with

Is there a dress code?  No unless we have a themed event.

What are the rules? No major Drama
What group can guest join to learn about upcoming events & parties?
