Some Band Booking Venues You May Not Have Though Of

The most obvious kind of venue to target for a band booking is usually somewhere established for live music. Bars, clubs, festivals etc.

Even most private function work comes from having been seen in one of these "traditional" venues.


There's a strong argument too that these places are the easiest to get a band booking because you don't have to convince the owner/booker about the merits of having live music in his venue.


Before I wrote Gig-Getter I remember reading about someone recommending funerals as a possibility for a band booking. Yes really. A bridge too far for me though I think.Having said that, how rock n roll would it be to arrange for a band to play at your own final "appearance"....


Now, on the subject of gigs in unusual places here's a brilliant post naming 20 non-traditional types of venues to consider. Not all these will appeal to everyone but what I like about this post are the further examples and videos they give.

Great stuff from a site well worth book-marking methinks....
