TimR Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I always visit pubs ask if the landlord/lady is in then buy a pint and chat. You are your own best advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder652003 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 email and / or Fb have been the kiss of death IMo for getting gigs. A phone call at the very least or in person always works best. The best time i usually find is about 11.30 in the morning just before the pub opens, the landlord is (usually) sober and free for a few minutes, had his/her breakfast and generally in a bearable mood.

monkeynuts Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1344454876' post='1764931'] I always visit pubs ask if the landlord/lady is in then buy a pint and chat. You are your own best advert. [/quote] Exactly this. A visit in person goes a long way when trying to get gigs. I always visit on a mon or Tues evening as it's generally quiet and they have time to chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
