Easy Question.... Getting more jobs?
« on: May 09, 2011, 02:55:46 PM »

If we all knew the answer to this question then we'd all be allot happier I'm sure.  ;D

However I find myself, with a empty diary for the next three months, what with one tour being cut down by 5 weeks and another 2 being cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

I've been touring for the last two years, after leaving a regular venue job behind and have subsequently lost all my local venue footings/contacts. Contacted a few venues I used to work at to get the usual "we've a full quote for crew/engineers, however we'll add you to the list for emergencies".

I'd be interested to hear your "go-to" places in hard times.

Thanks for reading.

Pete.

i have a house gig currently...and when i leave for other work (local, touring or otherwise), i simply sub it out to someone i know (i have a list i go down) but when I get back it's still my gig...

that way i'm never out of work (we have a minimum 12 shows a month), and even though the paychecks not super it's better than nothing during slower months
