Damo, this is so bang on mate! The information in here is absolutely fantastic! I've learnt more from you in the last month of watching your content than I did from nearly five years of studying music in higher education. You are a godsend to us struggling musicians dude!

Really helpful series, both videos have helped massively bring together some of my ideas. I've just been asked to help start up a functions band with some people at my uni so this one was really important for me. Cheers for the videos Damian

Can you go on Tv play with the cover band? Is their licensing issues?

[@SeanMuirMusic]

I don’t suppose you have ‘One Foot In The Groove’s’ number at all Damo? 😂

whats a pa?

[@DamianKeyes]

It’s the big speakers that everything goes though on a gig.. so you have your amplifiers but the vocals go through their own system which is a PA, or if you play a big venue they will have an in house system 😊

@@DamianKeyes ok thanks!Also,should I get a so called stage piano,or an electric piano or synthesizer that I already have works as well?
