| REGISTRATION |
| (Annual fee required: €40 plus VAT or €48.40) |
Bands, groups, solo musicians, and performers of all kinds are welcome to register with us, giving us contact details and a description of their act for their "Act Profile". Click here for the registration form: Register
The Annual Registration Fee is €40 plus VAT or €48.40 per year. This fee is payable in advance by new Acts and on receipt of an invoice inviting renewal by existing Acts. The fee may be paid by cheque, postal order, bank draft sent to Good Gigs Music Agency, Leixlip Gate, Leixlip, Co Kildare. Do not send cash in the post.
With luck -- and depending on your own musical ability -- you will have recovered your registration fee within a matter of months from extra gigs resulting from our recommendations. We spend the revenue from the registration fees on advertising. |
| |
| WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR FEE |
| When you register with us and we
have had the opportunity to hear you play, listen to your Demo CD, or verify your competence in some other way,
we will contact you regarding enquiries we receive that we think
might suit you. Obviously we will try to get you gigs that are within your capability. [We will not send a classically trained string quartet to a ballad session nor an Irish traditional group to a jazz festival. I know the ballad session and the jazz festival might be the better for their presence but ... No!] |
| |
When Event Organisers (EOs) contact us requesting information on an Act for an event we will include your band in the list of recommended bands we send out if we think you are suitable. We will take into account the type of music the EO requires, the budget, the location, and your line-up.
We will first contact you by text, by e-mail, or by telephone to discuss your availability and price. (Please be patient with us. It takes time to get your details entered into our database and to wait for the right gig to come along.) |
| |
| WHAT WE NEED FROM NEW ACTS |
To be included in our database and be recommended for gigs you need to send us the profile, description, line-up, biopics, set lists, demo CDs, DVD, web site, leaflets, cards, reviews or photos you would send to a client. Those and the annual registration fee of €40 plus VAT or €48.40. Most of this is requested on our Registration Form.
Send them by post to GOOD GIGS MUSIC AGENCY, Leixlip Gate, Leixlip, Co Kildare. Make the cheque payable to Good Gigs Music Agency. Do not send cash in the post. |
| |
| When you submit this Registration Form and send us the fee we will contact you to discuss
arrangements or you can phone or fax us on 01-6104442. E-mail us on info -- @ -- goodgigs.com. (Remove the spaces and the hyphens. We need to defeat the spammers that gather e-mail addresses and ruin them with unwelcome messages.) |
| |
| Once you have registered -- and paid our annual registration fee of €40 plus VAT or €48.40 -- we invite you to check our "Quote for Gigs" page where you may see gigs that you would like to quote for. |
| |
| HOW TO "QUOTE" FOR A GIG |
Acts contacting us in regard to Events on our "Quote for Gigs" page should include
- The Event Number
(You will find that on the Quote for Gigs page or on our e-mail, text or telephone request to you. Since you are likely to be dealing with many requests from us week by week you should always use the Event Number to distinguish one from the other.)
- The Price you wish to charge taking everything into account, size of venue and amplification, length of time required, distance to the venue, away-from-home expenses etc
(Price is often the "decider" in booking an Act, all other things being equal the band quoting the lowest price is most likely to get the gig. Obviously well-known established acts with a good reputation will have their own price structure but others might consider whether they would prefer to play more frequent "competitively priced" gigs or wait for fewer "high-earner" gigs.)
- Our Discount
(
We'll discuss this with you when we contact you for availability and price.)
- The Duration of the Act's show, set, or performance and any significant conditions such as "Won't play after midnight" etc. (We need to be certain on behalf of the client that there are no unpleasant time-related surprises in store at the end of the evening.)
- The Act ID provided by us on our acceptance of the registration.
That's five (5) items of information we need from you when you quote for a gig. Each of them will save time and confusion and speed up the transaction between us. You can text us on 087-9475437 (Texts only on that number please) or e-mail us on (remove the anti-spam spaces) info @ goodgigs . com . |

| "GIG EXCHANGE" |
In the "reserved area" of the web site which is available only to registered bands we offer special deals such as the "gig exchange".
Since ultimately our registered bands are akin to members of an association we will also publish up to date news of our activities there and share our experience for the benefit of younger bands starting off on their road to "stardom".
Well-established bands may well find it worth their while to participate in the gig exchange also. |
| |
| ADVERTISE (from only €60.50 VAT included per year. Compare others. Optional..) |
- For an annual fee of €60.50 including VAT we will put up a basic web page for you on this site.
- The links will be through the GOOD GIGS MUSIC AGENCY.
- All you need do is supply us with a good photograph, some text, and the fee.
- This is an optional extra to the Registration Fee of €40 plus VAT or €48.40 which covers your entry into the Database from which we make our recommendations.
- These fees will enable you to share in our advertising throughout the coming year. When people come to our site they will see your "thumbnail ad" which will lead them to your web page.
- This is also in addition to our recommendations from our database arising from the numerous phone calls we receive every day. We want you to get gigs through us.
