promoting your music? getting gigs??

[Ally Anderson]

I am currently researching the music scene in Aberdeenshire and would like to find out from local musicians how they find the overall experience of life in Aberdeen’s music scene.

The aim of this is find out how musicians promote their music, find venues to play their music in and to get an overall idea of music services provided in Aberdeenshire.

Q1. Do you employ an agent to find you work?

Q2. Do you rely on social networking sites such as facebook, myspace etc to promote your music?

Q3. If you don’t use social networks what other way do you promote your music.

Q4. Do feel there are enough services locally for you to successfully promote your music?

Q5. What improvements would you like to see on the services available?

Q6. What do you feel is missing, if anything, from the music scene in Aberdeenshire?

Q7. Are there any websites you prefer to use to communicate with other musicians?

Q8. On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate these websites?

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this and any replies are appreciated ...
