What Happens The Night of the Show?

Thursday October 9, 2008
If you've never played a gig before, you're probably wondering just what's going to happen when you turn up to play. When can you enter the club? When can you soundcheck? When will you get paid? (Of course, that's IF you're getting paid.) It can be a real distraction from the important stuff - like, say, playing a good set. Well, fret no more. Find out how things usually work behind the scenes at a show so you can feel confident about turning up and acting like you've done this a million times. You know, never let them see you sweat and all that.
