14 Musician Gigging Myths Busted!

Gigging musician myths debunked: the truth about money, fame, groupies, and the “glamour” of live music. Everyone thinks they know what it’s like being a gigging musician. You rock up, strum a few chords, drink free beer, rake in the cash, and get chased home by groupies. Yeah… not quite. After 27+ years of full-time gigging in pubs, weddings, corporate events, sports clubs, and the odd sticky-carpet pub where the pokies got more applause than I did, I’ve heard every myth in the book about what this life is like. So in this video, I’m busting the biggest ones. From money and fame, to “you must get so many women,” to the glamorous reality of eating a cold parmi in your car at midnight, I’ll show you what gigging is really like. If you’re a working musician, you’ll be nodding along (or crying inside). If you’re not, you’ll finally understand why the guy singing Mustang Sally doesn’t look like Ed Sheeran in a limo.
