#222 - Top Tips For Function Musicians
Have your back ups
As a function musician it is great practice to have a few other artists to call upon if you are unable to make a gig. This keeps those who book you happy as a replacement is readily available!
Have a portfolio
Is it easy for people to check out your previous work? Make sure you provide easy access to contact information, videos and links to recordings!
Know your set
Know your crowd pleasers! Curate your set to build the mood dependent on the event and the audience. Are you happy to take requests? Make this clear to increase audience satisfaction.
Prepare your instruments
It is good practice to have your instrument tuned in advance, power sources checked, the correct cables and extra guitar strings if needed!
Sign up to trusted agencies
Booking agencies take the stress out of securing regular bookings. If you are interested in making function gigging a part of your income why not sign up to our agency Social Season - DM for more info!
