MIDAS Tip-Sheet 2 - Playing a Gig (4)

All that is left now is the task of clearing up your gear and getting packed for going home. If there are any other bands on after you then you need to get your equipment off stage as quickly as you can so as to allow the other band time to get their stuff on.


If you are the last band on then you will be able to do things at a more leisurely pace. Before you leave for the night do one last check of the venue to make sure that you haven’t left anything behind


The more gigs you do the easier the whole process becomes. Use these tips as a guide to get you started and as time goes on you will develop your own approach to things and will be aware of what is important and how to get the most out of it.


Once you have gained more experience try getting gigs out-with your local area to give you experience of playing to an audience that has never heard your music before. By the time you reach this stage you will have probably played a number of gigs in your local area and will be well equipped to take your show to a new audience and build on your fanbase.
