Hi, I was wondering if any of you pros could give me any advice to due on my first gig?

 

[Matt Kaesler]

I'm not a pro, but I can give you some great advice:

1) Don't f*ck it up
2) Don't f*ck it up
3) Don't f*ck it up
4) Don't f*ck it up

and number 5, you guessed it... don't f*ck it up

If you've got the gig you know you're stuff, so play it, you didn't need me or anyone else to tell you that!

Have a good gig though.

Don't drink the free beer,watch your instrument on breaks,take a nap earlier so you can wait until 3:30 am. to get paid.Oh yeah ,have fun!

You are your homework. If you have done it you'll be fine.Now forget about it.Be yourself and have fun. The more you do it,the more you wanna be there.Look for the magic.

I'm happy to announce that my gig went great the audience loved me so much they wanted me to come back on and play for about an extra 1 hour because the other performer was late.

That's impressive - well done indeed, you were obviously hot stuff!

of course we got 900 for the show which after splitting it 4 ways is $225 per person then we got 75 each for the extra hour so around 300 for each person

Wow. All downhill from there.
Don't get too used to those kind of paycheques. There will be many that will be much smaller.

 

[Hotspur]

yeah we did get lucky, but this was the richer side of town
