I'm on most of the free ones, but I was wondering if anybody had particular success with any paid ones? - Do you get gigs mainly through agents, website, word of mouth or is it a mixture of all three?[/quote] the function band i play with do pub gigs as it a good way to get our name about and it also means that if any potential clients want they can check out the band before they make a decision as for advertising we use free sites but have also paid to get advertised in stuff like wedding mags but tbh weve not really got much work via the paid advertising most of our work seems to come from the website (this has really paid off since our drummer worked out how get us to the top of google search), word of mouth and online advertisng. we keep clear of agents due experiences a couple of the guys had in a previous band and tbh i dont think we are any worse off for it hope that helps
