Really? How so?

Manfred-Klose

I found that most of the venues were all booked months in advance, even dough i did start booking gigs 3 months in advance. and some of them wanted upfront payment to perform at the venue, which seems a little crazy to me.

and most of the smaller band don't even bother to reply to their emails.

in cape town you can get gigs together by making a few phone calls without any hassle.

Yeah, I think its probably because there are so many bands in Gauteng, the venues get bombarded with emails/calls every day. Best is to try and stand out some way to get their attention, or meet in person.

TOMS Rivonia just opened. Should be worth a look if it 's anything like the Sandton Branch it replaced.
