GUEST, Tony Rath aka Tonyteach Getting a gig (78* d) RE: Getting a gig 03 Apr 12


Some excellent advice here. I started in the 70s as an aspiring singer in Music Hall and was booked by a geezer called Horace Mashford at the Ally Pally Two spots for five quid in 1978 my first paying job. I did the gig - they said I was rubbish but could I come back next week and do some more By strenuous marketing and some talent I managed to get work every week after two - three years on the circuit doing old peoples homes - shows - panto and the like It takes time and effort to establish your self in any field. People have to know you -trust you and LIKE you enough to pay you

Its true in any creative or performing endeavour
