ahha i think this thread requires a better answer. your band muz not only be good, duh, but you need the required contacts. that would be best.

Its all about connections i guess.

weet.! I enjoyed myself at Mosaic Music Fest. HEHE!.

Back to topic !

1) Join a competition and win or finalist.
2) Play as many gigs as possible, share the stage famous bands is best.
3) Make a good demo tape and send to them
4) Be Proffesional in everything you do
5) Have loads of contacts with the industry esp. Esplanade.
6) Pray hard that they will contact u.


Thats what my thought ah. hehe.

All slots at the Waterfront are taken up till September.

no la. That time the security guard told me you must send a recording to their email which is on the website. Then they'll contact you. Something like that..

 

[AgingYouth]

Yes, that's one method but we work straight with the programming people at the Esplanade. And yes, the slots are pretty taken till Sept, darling. Trust me on this one.

Hmm, besides AgingYouth, which other grps/organisers have connections with Esplanade? Umm I know Fruit Records, WakeMeUpMusic, Music For Good, ... RockStarCollective?

Practise is VERY important (for the audience's sake), but having good conektions is almost the other half of the formula man.

Or you can book and organize your own gig/concert :lol:

connections can and should be established, and you can be very honourable and honest while doing so. it just takes time and effort, like anything else.
