Looking for a manager! (1 Viewer)

[slimjimmyg]

Craic! My band have made it a priority this year to get a manager. We've just recorded a session for Dan Hegarty's show on 2fm, been featured in the new music section of the Irish Times and had plenty of airplay all over the country. You can hear tracks and read a bio on the band at www.breakingtunes.com/constantsupply

If anyone's interested or knows of anyone that would be let me know.

Cheers!

What do you need a manager for?

 

[slimjimmyg]

We need somone who knows what they're doing, to help us get the right gigs, promote us, someone with plenty of contacts, because I only have a handful, which is fook all! We did everything ourselves last year and did ok but just feel getting a manager is the next logical step.

We need a manager who has contacts, can get us good gigs, knows what he's doing, can promote us. We did everything ourselves last year and did ok but feel the next logical step is to get a manager, every band that's doing well has one.

You'll get good gigs if you can demonstrate that you can pull in punters, around Ireland anyway. I've only heard bad things about managers of small scale Irish bands.

in most cases you'll find that the band has a manager because they are doing well, rather than doing well because they have a manager, if you get my drift. the grunt work was done by the band themselves. still, if you can find someone willing to put the hours in on your behalf then fair play. 15% of fuck all is still fuck all.

There's a good article on Josh Ritter's blog (do a google and you'll find it) that is written by his manager and talks about what managers do and his work with Josh Ritter. The gist of it is that the situation where big-shot manager arrives on scene and magically drives band onto the "next level" is a rare thing. Often the more successful artist/manager relationships (particularly these days) are ones which grow together from an early stage. So, for example the "manager" might start off as a friend of the band who is enthusiastic about the music and starts helping them book gigs or design posters or making phone calls for them etc etc and then gradually takes on a more formal role as things progress. It's worth a read.
