    Hi all

    ive a few questions for full time musicians….


    ive depped 100’s of wedding gigs but never done it full time. The dep gigs come and go but I’ve always had some sort of job.


    are people still able to make a decent wage let’s say doing the wedding thing full time these days or are supplemental / part time incomes more common?

    Petrol/ diesel is through the roof for one thing.

    And how do you deal with family etc never having a weekend off? Maybe it even works better being there during the week?


    these are my 2 main concerns about considering it full time. I love playing and once did a months work for a buddy and really enjoyed it. But yea the steadiness of work would be a worry.

    any thoughts/ feedback appreciated
