There are also touring gigs and the question of booking your own gigs or hiring a booking agent. Other topics to consider are decisions on equipment, costumery, etc. We will touch on all of these topics in this article. Before even looking for a gig, you'll need a submission package. Packages should contain a cover page, a one page bio, at least one page of press clippings, a business card, photo, and demo.
Video tapes can be an optional extra.
Bio should be self-explanatory, just keep it to one page. Be honest and don't exaggerate. Clippings should be a couple of lines of brief description from each article including the by-line and the name of the publication that it came from. Business cards should be hard stock and have logo if possible. Also use logo on your letter head paper and envelope.
