George Papavgeris Getting a gig (78* d) RE: Getting a gig 01 Apr 12

Well, all of the above advice is valid and good. But I believe it all starts with one's own attitude. Getting a gig is not a right - it is a privilege to be earned, through a combination of being good, adaptable and humble, and of course loads of exposure via floorspots, youTube, flyers, demos etc.

Any event organiser will be put off by an artist - even successful ones - who comes across as expecting to have earned the right to a gig. Even if the have earned it.

So start by being humble. Which is not to say that you should not have belief in what you can do, only that you should not automatically expect others to share it.
