Hello everyone, I could do with some advice, Does anyone have any experience with buying onto tours? Specifically in the UK or Europe but any examples worldwide would also be really helpful. How did you go about it? Was it worth it? Were there any nasty surprises? Costs etc? Thanks everyone, would be grateful for any info.

I gave up music for the entire year when my first son was born. I was playing drums in a jazz quartet, and it got to feel like clocking in each Saturday, same venue, same songs, same people, same pay. When I took a paternity leave, I realized I didn't miss gigging, so I quit the band and stopped playing all of my other instruments and only wrote one song that year. My self-identity had been so tied up in being a musician that I needed to know if I could handle life as non-musician. I have to say, it was a great year; I learned to cook, went on a 30 day juice fast, became a yellow belt in Kali/Escrima in under 6 months, and I took up archery lessons. by the time my son turned one, I got the itch to pick up my bass again and decided to take my playing to a new level and I immediately started looking for work that would stretch my comfort level a bit. My first audition was terrible. I was nervous, the band was lifeless and distant as the moon and, although they said I made the cut to the second round of auditions, I never got a call back. Right away that nagging voice in the back of my head started screaming, "give up, you're not good enough, you're parents were right, you should have gotten a job with your sister at her office, you're not in your twenties, you'll never make it as a musician." Even though I wanted to quit, I decided to reply to one more ad for a trio looking for a bassist. A week later I got a call, and unlike the previous band leader, our personalities clicked. Luckily, the band played some of the songs I had already learned for my previous audition so I felt confident. We got together and "jammed" (which is really just an audition but psychologically it takes the pressure off) and I got hired in two of the band leaders bands out of the one jam/audition. The catch was, I had to learn roughly 80 songs in a month (which I did with a similar systematic approach that got me to become a yellow belt in such a short period of time). This isn't the first time in my life where I had to keep going even though I wanted to quit? Does anybody else struggle with that? Do you ever tell yourself things like, " I have been playing for years, but I still can't do (skill/technique/song)?

I'm a new musician...well, not new..but new at trying to actually break into the scene. I have a few (or a lot of) questions that I haven't been able to find on Google, lol, so here they are: 1. How do you book gigs? 2. What's required to book a gig? 3. I've heard that bands need "press kits", what is that and how do I make one? Can I use a digital one like the one on Reverbnation? 4. In three months I plan to release an EP. How do I find people who can write stuff like this on the day I drop it? ( http://bit.ly/MwPCIL ) I really hope someone sees this and replies. I feel like the section of the forums doesn't get a lot of attention.
