GUEST,mink	Origins of the word 'Gig' (45)	RE: Origins of the word 'Gig'	13 May 03
In UK usage it can (not common but I have heard it) be used to mean any job of work (usually a short term contract) or position of authority - not just musicianly. So maybe it derives from a slang term previously more general.
