Encore Musicians

Anybody here use this agency for bookings? We’ve signed up and applied for tons of enquires but are getting no takings. Our promo material is on a par with other acts on there and we have good word of mouth reputation. I would interested if you are successful with them and how you achieve that.

I had a profile on there for a long time.

 

It Kept becoming inactive for some reason, perhaps because I didn't get anyone contacting me through it, perhaps because I didn't log in enough.

 

I play a niche instrument in an even more niche genre so wasn't expecting it to generate any solo bookings, but was intrigued about the session work capabilities.

 

I've run a few test searches for all sorts of players or groups etc over the years and I don't think the site is really that active.

 

Happy to be proved wrong 😃

Thank you, we get loads of emails saying a band of our description is being looked for and we apply but no takers. We’re not that bad!

I've just done another search now for a band for an imaginary wedding. I'm not logged in and it seems like you have to create an account before it will show you the bands.

 

As a punter this would put me off, although I understand why they would implement this.

 

 

Looking forward to hearing others experiences
