Musicians For Special Events - The Answer to All of Your Problems Could Be Here
Musicians For Special Events - The Answer to All of Your Problems Could Be Here
By Tim J Bennett
Musicians for special events have the ability to make your event the greatest event anyone has ever been to and at the same time the worst!
If you get this wrong your event is doomed!
I know that you have been in a bar or a restaurant, kiddy party, fashion show, corporate event or some other special event and had to endure the worst band ever. If you have seen the movie “The Wedding Singer” then you know what I am talking about!
I am also sure that you have been to a great concert sometime in your life and just had the most amazing time of your life. 10 years later you still remember it.
I remember I used to listen to “crazy” people saying Michael Jackson was the best ever and then I went to one of his concerts and I came out saying “Michael Jackson was the best ever.”
In 1996 I had the amazing honor of being part of a team that put together a show in Brunei that also included Michael Jackson and he was “the best ever!”
The difference between a professional band and a completely rubbish band is amazing and they will make or break your event without a doubt.
So how do you find musicians for special events?
Ask Your Friends!
Well you can ask your friends. Word of mouth is really the best form of advertising you can imagine. If someone says that they had a show and it was super, you can rest assured that they had a good time.
I have been in show biz 20 years and I can tell you the bands I would employ and the ones I would not!
Knock On Doors
If you are new to the entertainment industry or just looking for some talent for your party or corporate event, you may not have a list of contacts and the only way to find artists is by searching them out and then you take the risk of not knowing who you are dealing with!
Like everything else in this world, if you do not know what you are doing the sharks will be looking at you!
So how do you find the musicians for special events without shooting yourself in the head?
Entertainment Directory
As I said earlier I have been in show biz for 20 years and one of my greatest assets was my small book of entertainment links.
No matter where I went in the world, it had addresses, contact names and telephone numbers for people who I could team up with.
I have been in over 16 different countries, lived in 4 and started businesses in 2, so I can tell you that arriving in a strange place armed with a list of contacts comes in really handy.
In fact it is life saving. I do not know where I would be today if it were not for my entertainment directory. I know that the contacts I have today are a result of 1 name and address I had when I arrived in The Philippines. Who would have thought that I could have a million dollar business from one business card - but it is true! It is also true that you need an entertainment directory if you want to meet directors, actors, make-up artists and musicians for special events.
I totally recommend entertainment directories if you are looking for musicians for special events. The help they give saved my life.
