First Gig Tips | 10 Great Tips to Play a Great Show

This year (2021), I'll have been playing gigs for 32 years! From lounge bar duos, to bar gigs and festival gigs, I've played in Europe, Asia and Australia. Sometimes in front of 2, sometimes in front of thousands. Some of the years I did heaps of shows (I think in 2006 I did close to 150) and some years fewer that that... (thanks COVID). Here are 10 things that I've learnt from doing shows that I wish I'd have known at the very beginning of my gig life. Some are obvious, others less so. What are your tips for successful shows? Let me know in the comments.

    Tip 1. Dont use cheap gear…it will let you down. Tip2. Mistakes are an opportunity to keep your cool. Tip 3. Your job is to do what the venue wants you to do, promote a beer, get regulars, sell a particular beer, get the staff tipped. So do your job.

    if you only take 1 pick, you're .....100 picks in different sizes and gauges, even if you are only a 1 brand, size and gauge player. bunch of single strings. you know if your guitars have an area of weakness. another set of clothes, not in case you sh-t yourself but have a beer bath. A wig, in case you need to leave (in)incognito glasses might help. fake facial hair?

    Maybe leave the fake beard? Everything else sounds good though...
