1. How did you get your first gig?

Cold Calling and leaving flyers etc

2. Do you play in a band?
Yes, we're called Reeverb

3. Are you a solo artist?
Not at the moment but did some solo work a few years ago under the name of Blues House

4. How do you get gigs now?
Still a lot of cold calling even to the repeat venues, they soon forget

5. Do you use booking websites such as GigMasters?
No


7. What is your typical audience? What is the typical age and gender of your audience?
We mainly play pub gigs so all ages but our catchment audience are the Boomers.

7. Do you sell things at your gigs such as t-shirts, hats, CDs etc?
Not yet

8. Do you stream your gigs on social networks such as Youtube, Live Stream, or Facebook?
No, although occasionally the venue will.

9. How do you approch you gig? Do you view them as opportunities to sell your music, or do you gig because you enjoy preforming?
Enjoy playing and growing with every gig - always a new experience, but it's also paid work.

10. How do you sell yourself as a musician to convience the person looking to book that you are worth the time and money?
I totally agree with the previous comments about not giving your band away for free in a commercial environment. We've done a fair share of fundraisers etc., but many bands these days will play for exposure and make it difficult to get paid work. Venues will usually go for the cheapest option and take the hit on the quality.
