The Professional Musician

We cannot tell you how many times (suffice to say – too many) a band has either made or destroyed an evening/function/corporate event, and in doing so has either reaped the rewards or caused irreparable damage not only to themselves and their act, but more-so the live music industry.

In holding events ourselves and by working with venues we have come up with a list that hirers and event co-ordinators consider as the “bare minimum” expectations from bands/musicians, and over the course of this series of blogs we will discuss these under six headings, they are:

1. The Professional Musician is Never Late;
2. The Professional Musician is Always Prepared;
3. The Professional Musician Uses Discretion;
4. The Professional Musician is an Ambassador of Music;
5. The Professional Musician is Musically Educated;
6. The Professional Musician Realises that His/Her Job is No Excuse for a “Rock n’ Roll Lifestyle”.
