1. Why you don't have any gigs?
I didn't have any gigs in January, mainly because I managed to convince the pub band that I was depping with a lot that I wasn't going to be nearly so available as I had been- that was the band that prompted some rather grim posts from me in 'How was your gig last night?'
2. Do you rely on an agent?
The tribute band that I dep with has a decent booking agent, and the tribute that I belong to really needs one! Otherwise the bands I play with tend to sort out their own gigs.
3. Who finds coordinates and confirms gigs?
I don't care as long as it's not me. I have done this in the past, and found it a soul-destroying slog.
4. Are you or any band members in this for the money?
Personally, I do it for the enjoyment, but I also want my skill and hard work to be suitably rewarded. The pub band folks I mentioned do it for a living - care homes mid week, pub gigs at the weekend.
5. How much do you want to gig?
I love a good gig, but I won't do just any old gig. Yesterday I turned down a dep gig where the money was low, plus I knew there was nowhere to park legally within at least half a mile of the venue - just not worth it.
