No I haven't dissapeared off the scene (stop that booing at the back). I've had my head down working on  two new projects for amateur and semi-pro bands and musicians.

The first is Gig-Getter.COM which will be a resource aimed at giving gigging advice to musicians - both in terms of finding and booking the gigs, live performance issues, band member(ship), starting a band, online promotion etc etc. This will be launched in the next few weeks so watch this space for details - or subscribe to the newsletter at

 http://www.gig-getter.co.uk.

In addition I'm just finishing my second manual. This will cover the most asked-about topic in relation to gigging - namely how to get your audiences going. Here's an idea on the content - the manual ( a download initially) will be available from next month:

 

  • Develop super-confidence onstage

 

  • How to maximise positive crowd interaction every gig – no matter how large (or small) the crowd

 

  • 3 key ways to make a crowd warm to you before you play a single note

 

  • Secret ways to spot the most responsive crowd members in seconds- and how to use this to quickly build your overall crowd rapport

 

  • 11 sure-fire moments in every gig where you can build your crowd connection

 

  • How to rouse any crowd even without an extrovert front-person

 

  • How to confidently talk to audiences in any situation onstage

 

  • Tried and tested one-liners to win every crowd
