Nicko Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 My band has been struggling to break into local venues and we played two gigs last year. By chance we got ourselves an agent (our guitard met her when seeing a band she represented at a local pub). We played a gig last week (arranged by her) where she saw us for the first time, and we now have eight gigs lined up so far this year. Although she is taking a small cut, she is arranging a fee that incudes her payment so there is no downside for us at all. Result! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Awesome, glad to hear it! Knowing the right people definitely makes a HUGE difference in the gigging world! And to be fair you usually have to pay to get the best agents, if it’s only a small fee you have won a watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 A good agent is a real find. A good, GREEDY agent is even better. So log as they dont start skimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPrawn Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 No down side as long as your all happy. I wish I could find someone decent to take the ball ache out off getting gigs. It sounds Win Win. Well as long as the venues are decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
