From the School Fete to the Hard Rock Cafe
My name's Gareth Bird and I run my own Sales & Marketing business which is credited with sales of more than $160M for companies I've worked with. Musically, I'm pretty much a novice who only began playing bass guitar 4 years ago when I was asked to join friends in a local band

At that time they were playing a handful of local charity and school fete appearances a year along with the occasional bar. They were in real danger of splitting up due to lack of band bookings. The guitars, drums and other gear they'd bought were looking like they'd never even pay for themselves.

I decided I had to try and use what I knew about marketing in the business world and see if it could be applied to being able to book my band. I had no contacts in the music industry at that point and the band didn't even have a web site.

Over a period of months, through trial and error, I developed a system which transformed the band from something of a local joke into regular performers at places like the Hard Rock Café. A band with a continually full gig diary.

One weekend we played 3 gigs in under 24hours and the other band members were literally begging me to ease up on the band bookings.

It got to the stage where the exposure for the band in our area reached such a level that one major national music agency tracked us down, tried to sign us, and actually asked:

“You guys are everywhere. Who’s behind you?”

Since then I've written about how to get gigs for several major musician's magazines like Total Guitar, Bass Guitar and Reverb. For the record, my band still remain independent of any agency and until very recently I still used only a second-hand copy guitar which cost under $300

But I'm not telling you all this just to brag. Being able to book your band as often as you want is something you'll easily be able to do for yourself with the know-how I share in Gig-Getter.

 

Why Gig-Getter is different

* It's written by a Sales & Marketing professional. Someone who's taught hundreds of people in more than 15 countries around the world how to get their own band bookings. I share a wealth of marketing experience in a way that can easily be used by anyone who wants to fill their gig diary but doesn’t know where to start. All you need is the openness and motivation to try this deceptively simple system

* This is a proven system still used by an active semi-pro band member - not some out of date theories dreamed up by an ex-musician. These same Techniques have been used to secure regular band bookings at places like the Hard Rock Cafe (my band were asked to name our own dates there again this year)

* I'm a barely adequate guitarist. Living proof in fact that frequent bookings don't have to be down to great musicianship. Not only that, but I'm a grandfather in his late 40's. Imagine the amount of bookings someone with age and/or real talent on their side could secure

* Gig-Getter is all about getting bookings and nothing else. There's no irrelevant info about finding band mates or getting record deals

* The hard copy version is 90 pages long. This is no weighty text book of theory. It's a straightforward system any musician can quickly start benefiting from

* I've aimed Gig-Getter solely at semi-pros and amateurs. Even if you've never gigged before you can start getting regular and frequent work

* The system is priced at a "one-off" tiny fraction of the continual commission an agent would endlessly extract from your band

“An excellent book….valuable information” Michael A.  Richmond, Virginia

  "Invaluable information..Would benefit even the most established acts. A must read for any band looking for gigs" - Shane S. Dublin, Ireland (www.santoria.ie)

“I thought that I should finally write and just let you know how useful I have found your book.  The responsibility for getting gigs has fallen to me (because if it was left to the others we'd never play!) and I didn't really have a clue about how to go about it.  Your book helped to give me a lot of confidence, particularly around phoning venues to try and get gigs. Despite only having been gigging for 4 months we now have regular work…- I guess you do know what you're talking about!”  – Nick H.  Exeter  

"I really recommend Gig-Getter" - Karl D. Leeds

“Packed with useful advice…thanks for writing the book” – Kim W. Topsham (www.kimwei.com)

 “A sort of Bible”   – Chris G. Glasgow

 “Thanks for all your help and for the excellent book”.  - Clive M. Warwick (www.thirdalert.com)

  “Best I’ve read on the subject”Simon C. Cardiff (www.jellied-reels.co.uk)

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your excellent book…. just by getting ourselves a little more organized and doing a little research (on venues and other bands in the area) we suddenly find that we are booked up to play throughout every weekend in June !!!

Being based in Cambridge there are a great many student type bands in the area and the city centre venues cater mainly for that audience.  As an aged 40+ band (i.e. old enough to know better!), we found it a struggle to get bookings………

All the best and thanks again for a great book”Paul K. Cambridge  (5 days after receiving his copy of Gig-Getter)

 

So how much is this going to cost me?

Well let me ask you this. How much you think you've lost in pleasure and gig money on the nights you've stayed home or watched other bands play live over the last year instead of being booked yourself?

I keep being told I could charge a lot more for this proven system but I don't like the thought of other musicians out there being unable to play live. Ultimately perhaps, giving up music altogether just because they don't know how to get enough bookings and make it pay

So here's what I've tried to do. I've priced Gig-Getter so just one booking at the lowest sort of fees a bar would pay you, covers your investment more than 10 times over. Just one booking every month for the next year at that sort of venue alone would give you something like a hundred and twenty times the price of your investment in Gig-Getter.

But with what I'll show you, you'll be able to do far, far better than that. Both in terms of numbers and quality of band bookings.

The new A5 "Gig-Bag size" hard copy version is available for a limited period exclusively at Amazon for just $20.31 (£12.72). For that, I show you how to get gig after gig for your band in bars, clubs and other fee paying venues this year, next year and every for as long as you want
