How To Book A Gig For Your Band In 4 Easy Steps
Live performances are essential to progress your music career. Gigs are a great way to spread word about your music and grow a loyal fan base. But how do you book gigs?
Below are four ways to help you land your next gig:
1. Choose a gig venue
Pick a venue that suits your music genre and target audience. There are some venues that are devoted to particular music genres while others target specific demographics like university students or middle-age crowd. For instance, if your music caters to teens, then you would have to look for a venue that doesn’t have age restrictions. In the same way, a jazz band wouldn’t fit in a club that hosts only rock bands. Therefore, go through the venues’ websites and look at past acts to determine whether you fit in.
2. Find a promoter
You have identified suitable venues for your gig. To get yourself booked, you will have to undertake further research. Find out if the venues have talent buyers, in-house promoters or independent promoters for booking bands and artists.
Promoters are individuals who buy talent. They either work independently or in partnership with booking agents to book musicians. Usually smaller clubs rely on in-house promoters. The owner of the club usually takes the responsibility for booking talent. On the other hand, large clubs seek outside promoters who usually just hire the venue and its facilities for every show.
Find contact details of the people in charge of booking shows and send them your music demo and press kit. Call the venue to get this information. Further, look up the venues’ pitching guidelines before you pitch your music to promoters.
3. Send out your demo and electronic press kits to gig venues
Venues and promoters would want to listen to your music before booking you. Make a demo of your music and send it along with an electronic press kit. The press kit can be as brief or as elaborate as you like. However it should include some basic information such as artist/band bio, contact information and a set list. Include your influences, experiences and brief information about the kind of music you make to attract promoters’ attention. Also include details of the venues you have played before. Additionally, include posters or photos in your electronic press kit. Draft a professional email with a strong subject line. Follow the below tips to draft a good pitch email:
Introduce your band. Describe the kind of music you play. Draw comparisons with other similar bands to give the promoters a sense of your music style.
Mention how you would fit in with the venue.
Provide contact details and links to all social media accounts.
Mention your target demographics.
Provide a promotional plan for your gig.
Package all the information in a clear manner before you send it out to venues and promoters.
4. Follow up with gig venues
Follow up with promoters or gig venues if you have not heard from them. Send an email or make a phone call to find out their decision. If you receive a positive response, negotiate a contract. If they reject your pitch, don’t hesitate to ask them why. Accept rejection graciously and take their advice constructively. Make sure your next pitch is good enough to land you a gig.
As independent musicians, getting a gig may seem like a daunting task. However, the rewards of live performances are many. Therefore, follow the above steps to get more gigs

Before you even consider submitting your music to Radio Stations!
1) Ensure you’re a member of performance rights organisation SAMRO
…and register every song you publish with SAMRO. Among other benefits, it ensures you earn royalties on radio spins of your music. More info on registration here.
2) Make sure the music you submit has an ISRC code.
An ISRC code is a unique code given to every piece of music published. It makes it easy to track radio plays as well as sales. You can get an ISRC code from RISA or from aggregators like TuneCore and CDBaby when uploading your music to digital retailers.
3) Remember the clean versions!
While it would be great to live in a country like Germany where music is heard as intended – swear words and all in tact – South Africa is not that. Submit only clean versions of your music to commercial stations. If you don’t have clean masters, get clean masters made, and remember to register those songs as standalone records with SAMRO and get unique ISRC codes too.
Bonus tip: It is crucial to already have some buzz with your music before going to radio. If you’ve previously uploaded the song to services like Soundcloud and its racking up decent plays or if you have a community of fans backing you and some decent press behind your work, it’s a good story to go to the radio stations with. Remember, big stations don’t want to take risks, they want to make money, and they make money from engaged listeners. Whatever you can do to prove your record is a sure thing that’s already resonating with the target market only serves your case.
Preparing for submission
With all the ‘legal’ admin in place, it’s time to prepare for submission.
1) Make a list of all the stations whose format suits your style of music.
Radio is not a free for all. Stations have specific formats – a catch all term for ‘genres and styles of music played’ – they adhere to. It’s unlikely SAFM will ever play AKA and Yanga’s ‘Dreamwork‘, and equally unlikely Ukhozi will play James Blake’s latest bangers.
Establish which stations your songs are appropriate for, which radio hosts your songs may resonate with, and make a list of them.
2) Establish the station’s submission procedure
Every major station will have specific instructions for music submission. This will include submission addresses, file formats they accept, submission deadlines, and when to expect feedback (if at all). This info is usually a Google search away. Most SABC radio stations have a FAQ page with this info.
You’ll find the info, but here are the main ones:
Metro FM
5FM
Ukhozi
Good Hope FM
Bonus tip: Look beyond the major stations when preparing your list! Campus radio, community radio and online radio (even though it’s painfully nascent) are all viable.
The submission process
1) Submit your music in time for your desired week’s deadline.
At most stations music submitted one week will be on the playlist the following week. If you have a strategy around radio releasing your music at a specific time, keep this in mind, but don’t bank on the radio playlisting your song as the main hype.
2) Follow the submission protocol the station advises… and sell yourself

Press Release - Mo Flava’s bursaries up for grabs again
Johannesburg, Wednesday, 11 January 2017 – For the 7th year running, Metro FM radio personality and Club DJ, Mo Flava, is set to give away 10 bursaries once again this year to potential students with a minimum diploma entry matric certificate through Boston Media House.
The bursaries will be allocated to students interested in studying Radio, TV, Music Production, and Graphic Design amongst other Media Studies related degrees.
This year’s prospective candidate interviews will be held at both the Sandton and Pretoria Boston Media House campuses.
Audition dates:
• 21 January 2017 - Pretoria (9am - 4pm)
• 28 January 2017 - Sandton (9am - 4pm)
“It’s a privilege to be able to contribute towards educating the future members of the media industry. The students that have gone on to graduate are doing amazing things in their respective fields and I strongly believe their Boston Media House training has positively contributed to the success in their careers as it has in mine”
Mo Flava is an avid advocate of people mastering their craft in their various fields and will personally conduct all the interviews during the designated time slots on the two allocated dates, after which he will select 10 candidates who will receive the bursaries from him. All prospective media students from across the country are encouraged to grab this opportunity and attend these sessions.
Previous winners of the Mo Flava Boston Media House bursaries have come from across the country including areas such as KwaZulu Natal, Taung District in the North West and Soweto.
Mo Flava has made an outstanding difference in the lives of many students; previous bursaries giveaways have been a huge success, and have seen various young students begin working towards getting their qualifications so they can make a positive contribution to society.
Connect with Mo Flava on social media for tips on how prospective candidates can prepare for their audition.

As the champion of music rights in South Africa, SAMRO has a duty to ensure the quality of our music and to protect the rights of our members. So we don’t automatically approve every music creator who applies for membership.
As a Music Creator, you need to meet a few requirements before we will approve your membership. You need to complete a few forms and supply us with a few documents.
To keep everything above board, SAMRO checks out every Music Creator. We verify that your music is active – meaning that it has been recorded commercially, performed in public or broadcast on TV. We make sure your music is your own and doesn't infringe on the rights of other musicians. If you’re a music publisher, we check to see that your partner musicians are accredited members of SAMRO or our international affiliate societies.
Here are the levels of SAMRO membership categories that you may fall into, depending on your case.

A MUST READ FOR ALL INDEPENDENT ARTISTS
#1. As an independent Artist, when negotiating deals, make sure you don't sign away any copyright to your music and you keep 100% creative control.
#2. 100% Copyright Rights Retention: Without labels, all revenue generated from album sales and sync licensing deals goes straight to the artist.
#3. You also have complete control over the exploitation of your music, and the free will to say yes or no to any business opportunity that comes your way.
#4. As an independent artist, you have 100% Creative & Marketing Control. No label means you have complete control over the direction of your music.
#5. You build your own team: as opposed to labels who force you to work with their people. As an indie artist, you are your own boss and you choose your own team.
#6. Make sure you surround yourself with people who share in your vision and have the skills to help you push your music, and move your career forward.
#7. As an independent artist you get pro-artist contracts, giving the artist more money for their music through either profit-sharing or larger royalty %.
#8. Limited Resources: No label means any financing for recording, distribution, marketing costs will have to come out of your own pocket.
#9. You need to work on developing your network in the industry (radio, tv, festivals, promoters, etc.) which will serve you at a later stage.
#10. Due to the fact that many indie labels are so informal, there's the possibility of things being done incorrectly and then being overlooked.
#11. Always have someone to represent you or negotiate on your behalf. It looks unprofessional when artists represent themselves, it looks like they are begging and desperate. That's how they get exploited and taken advantage of.
#12. Technical riders and hospitality riders apply to every artist. Don't allow promoters and event organisers to treat the mainstream artists or crowd pullers better than you, even if you're a curtain raiser.
#13. A free gig means a promoter MUST take care of transportation and refreshments (and sometimes accommodation).It shouldn't cost an artist a cent to perform for free.
#14. Never fall for words like "promotion" and "exposure", those people are not your marketing team to be concerned about your promotion and exposure.
#15. Verbal agreements and handshakes don't mean anything in this industry. Draw contracts and get your paperwork in order.
#16. A booking must be accompanied by a contract. A 50% of a performance fee is payable upfront to secure the booking. The outstanding 50% balance must be paid a day before the event or on the day of the event before you go on stage. You don't wanna chase for the promoter after the show. Include 14% tax in your invoice.
#17. Interact with your fans on a regular basis. Some artists only talk to fans when they need them for votes.
#18. When you have an interview, ask them to send you the questions in advance. You have a right to tell them which questions to remove or shouldn't ask.
#19. No artist manager should get more than 25%. Anything over 25% is a rip off.
*Don't forget to pay your taxes. SARS will come for you, 5 or 10 years later and they will detach everything you own.*
