Since a certain blues guitarist (maybe) did a deal with the Dark One, music and making questionable agreements have been very closely linked.

This week we're looking at the different types of contract musicians have to face;

-Management contracts

-Record Label contracts

-Individual Gig contracts

-Agency contracts

and 

-Client contracts.

I'll take a quick look at each along with a rough guide to not getting done over :)

Party on dudes!

This week I interview Drummer, Unexpected Classical Trombonist, and all-round Good Egg, Matt Chung.

Matt and I discuss his beginnings in the industry, the power of musical redemption, and the overall importance of just being a nice human being to hang out with.

Matt was kind enough to invite me to Rock Hard Studios in Blackpool to record this episode- the facilities there are utterly delightful and Matt himself is a very welcoming host and ambassador for the business

It's time for an interview episode! This week I'm sitting down with Bradford-based singer, guitarist, and bandleader, Cieran Miller, for a conversation about what Big Gig Energy means to him. When I first started working with Cieran in Autumn 2021, I was immediately blown away by how he brings his biggest energy and best self to every single gig, regardless of how many people were there or how much it paid. To me, these were classic indicators of B.G.E, and I was keen to have him on the podcast as my first guest interview! Amongst other things, we'll discuss the importance of treating every gig as a Big Gig, highlights from his career so far, the approach he takes to performing and songwriting, and the jangly joy of playing 12-string guitars.  Also, I play an ocarina solo to avoid being sued.

Another list episode, because boy do people and algorithms love lists! Seven tips for you this time to turbocharge your branding and marketing strategy as a musician. Please note; this episode contains some strong language. Just like real life! Tip #1: Get Your Branding Right (The Three R's: Rudimentary, Recognisable, Relevant) Tip #2: Do Social Media- The Right Way Tip #3: Get A Website Tip #4: Get Some Photos Done. Good Photos. Tip #5: Sort Out Your Showreel+Videos Tip #6: Recordings- Quality Over Quantity, and Get On Spotify! Tip #7: Spend Time On Your Bio I mention coming across the band Cannons during this episode as an example of the power of Spotify... here's a YouTube link to their song, 'Hurricane' which I'm linking to here, simply because I think it's a bit of a banger. Also, selfishly, I'm really hoping they do a vinyl run of their album and the more people that come across them, the sooner that'll happen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ2kSbSrDLs&ab_channel=CannonsVEVO If you enjoyed this episode, please do me a massive favour and rate this podcast!
