It would really help if we knew where in the world you are. It is quite likely that there are other Mudcatters within reasonable driving distance who can advise with more specifics.

If you are just starting out, work up enough songs and tunes to last an hour and a half, minimum. Check with local libraries, museums, nursing homes, and any social groups that have regular meetings. You should be able to find ample non-paying gigs. Once you are known and established, the money will follow; not much though.

Please also inform us of the kind of music you are doing. Your request is valid but vague.

Keep on singing, whatever -- Tom
