    LL Entertainment have guaranteed gigs goin-a-beggin'. 50 in year one, 80 in year 2, 100+ in year 3. LL Entertainment own and manage bands - we are not a booking agency of multiple acts.

    We are forming a NEW BAND which we at LL will own and manage. All of the costs associated with setting up this band will be ours with the exception of PA and Lights. This band will immediately benefit from bookings that we need to fill. We have a method for booking gigs which works and the work is legit and guaranteed. We invite our clients to monthly showcase events as part of our system. LL Entertainment are a prompt paying, professional outfit interested in five-year agreements minimum. We set up the band, we do all management and bookings. You just turn up and do the well-paid gigs.

    We are urgently seeking either:
    A. a ready made band of musicians who fit the below bill. (Note we are not a booking agency and are not looking to manage YOUR band, we are setting up our own third band and seeking musicians who wish to find guaranteed employment). If you are a ready established band with a half-full or more calendar this is not for you.
    If you are a good band, with a fairly open calendar then you may be the right guys.

    Or B. We are immediately seeking talented, experienced, professional musicians to set up a new 5 piece wedding and corporate band which will benefit from our agency enquiries, playing 50 weddings in year 1 and 80+ weddings in year 2, 100 in year 3.

    We are looking for the following musicians to complete the line-up. This is a good opportunity for working musicians interested in paying the mortgage and the car loan. Professionals only please. If you think you need extensive rehearsing please don't consider this position - The application is specifically worded to attract musicians or a band who are good-to-go.

    We only want 100 nights of your year. Be as creative as you like for the other 265.

    A. You need transport.
    B. You need Pro-gear.
    C. You need ten years full-time proven experience.
    D. You need a positive mental attitude.
    E. If you sing it's a bonus.
    F. You don't mind travelling to events nationwide (mostly in Leinster however).
    G. You don't need extensive rehearsing.
    H. You won't need to 'dep' out any of our gigs.
    H. If you moan disregard this entire add - it's aimed at musicians who want to work in a cheerful, organised and professional environment.

    The Line-up will include:
    Front-Man - Excellent Singer / Entertaining, Charismatic, presentable
    Drums - Someone who can stay in time with properly tuned kit (Singing a bonus)
    Bass - See above (Gotta be a singer too). Tone very important
    Lead Guitar - (Gotta be a singer too). Tone and taste a must
    Keys - Synth-y kind of person required. Gotta be a singer too
    PA and Lights man - extra wedge for the guy who owns the PA.
    DJ - Extra wedge for the band member who can DJ too.

    All musicians should have their own transport, professional equipment and ten years experience playing the wedding and corporate circuit. Top rates of pay for the right guys €200 - €300 / gig, depending on experience and how much we want you - and negotiable. The first gig for this band could be as early as March. Availability is obviously an important element.

    CV's and Questions ONLY TO:

    All applicants will be treated with the upmost confidence. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks,

    Kerry.

    A: Is this the same as this ad?
    From the Charter:
    DON’T post duplicate threads.

    B: Is that your phone number I just edited out?
    From the Charter:
    Don't Publish phone numbers. It’s not worth the hassle and you will get banned

    C: Read the charter

    Oh, and one last thing, this here is a discussion forum. You answer the questions here, that's why I deleted your email address asking people to ONLY ask questions via email. See it'll save you the hassle of you replying to everyone individually when people can just read your reply here. Obviously if it's confidential in nature you can take it to PM.

    We're not an ad site. We're a community. You should join in, we're quite approachable when you play by the rules.

    Hi Pappa Dolla,
    This is a new advertisement. It is an advertisement though. The last group we formed are up and running now and we're beginning a new process as is our business model.
    All good here to play by the rules. I mention the email element as some musicians are not comfortable with sharing their current status on the open forum. I'll get the add down and find a suitable home for it.
    Cheers,
    KC.

    let me get this straight...... you own the band..... yet the band must come supplied with PA?

    Surely i´m reading that wrong.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Kerry Clarke


    No. We can supply the PA. SOME BANDS ALREADY HAVE A PA they're familiar with. We can pay the owner operator for this. And there's no MUST. This is a job offer. Not orders. People who are interested MAY apply. We also appreciate when others who are uninterested don't interfere in what is a good employment opportunity for good professional-minded musicians.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 infinityband


    Well, TBH i am interested.

    Professional guitarist and vocals/harmonies WITH brand new 10K PA system. Can DJ too.

    over 17 years experience, in ALL genres of music.
