FREE GIG & EVENT GUIDES

A quick explanation about the GUIDES and their connection with AND RADIO …

I also own and run AND RADIO, a radio station I built when many of us were forced to take the year off during lockdown. I built it for musicians. No ads, no pointless waffle, just great music championing grassroots and new artists. Naturally, I’m using it to support Global MAD Music Day.

I’ve written these guides drawing on a lifetime in the music business - practical, no-nonsense advice to help musicians get gigs, promote them, build audiences and put on better and bigger events.

I’ve specially adapted them for anyone getting involved with Global MAD Music Day. But rather than duplicate everything here, I’ve made AND RADIO the home for our growing collection of FREE practical guides and checklists.

It makes sense. AND RADIO is for musicians. These guides are for musicians. And there will be plenty more to come. So use them for MAD … or use them for any gig, anywhere, any time.

All the guides are FREE. Just hit the buttons and you’ll be taken there. No sign-up. No catch. Just useful stuff.

HOW TO GET A GIG
Need a hand getting a gig, putting one on or getting people through the door?

ABOUT THE FREE GUIDES

I’ve drawn on a lifetime in the music business to create practical, no-nonsense guides to help you get gigs, promote them, build audiences and organise bigger events.

They’ve been adapted for Global MAD Music Day … but use them for any gig, anywhere, anytime.

They live on AND RADIO, the radio station I built for musicians during Lockdown.

All FREE. No sign-up. No catch. Just useful stuff.
