Artist Development Workshops
From over 30 years of experience in the live music industry the number one question we get asked is “How do I get gigs”? or “How do I get more gigs”?
We have developed the “Get Gigs” workshop, designed to provide artists looking to break through and get paid gigs or wanting to commence a career within the live music industry.
We have distilled 90 years of experience into a one-day workshop. Attendees will walk away with practical knowledge and resources that can be used straight away to kick start and fast track securing gigs. This knowledge takes years and years of trial and error to learn and we are presenting it in a no-nonsense and hugely practical workshop. We guarantee nothing will be held back!
This workshop has been designed to give artists the absolute essential knowledge and tools to provide the best chance of securing and growing a career as a live music performer.
The course contains:
· Industry insight
· Emerging trends and work opportunities
· What venues and agencies look for in artists
· How to promote as an artist to get paid work
· How to create personalised free marketing and advertising
· How to manage business administration as a sole trader
· How much and how to charge for gigs
· Minimum equipment requirements
· How to achieve the best possible sound through essential sound

Electronic Press Kits (EPK’s)
Other than working on your song craft and being competent at what you do the number one item you need is an Electronic Press Kit or an EPK.
An EPK is a 2 or 3-page electronic biography that captures who you are as an artist that can be easily emailed or attached to your social media.
We offer the design and production of your very own EPK. All we need is your personal information on how to book you, links to your socials, some photographs and short videos, then away we go.
We also offer performers the opportunity to come down to one of our open mics where we can capture video and photographs of your performance on the night. These can then be uploaded and used in your EPK if you don’t have sufficient content.
