Live performances

2. A performer is basically the show, they will be signed by manager and the manager will be informed of a concert and then decides if he should sign the contract with a concert manager, Thus meaning the bands are under the contract and must meet the requirements during the show to be pad at the end for playing. The performer is the most important thing about a live performance because they are the performance and without them there’s no show. So concert managers need to find bands that well known and will be worth using money on.

6. A merchant is the person that sell’s a bands merchandise, this allows the band to build a bigger fan base ,Selling these items is also another way to promote your band because they are selling tops, hats, mug’s, etc all with your band name on which is seen by other people of the public. This also means the band will gain more revenue from what they are selling, what the merchant sells depends on how much of the money is given to the band for example if the merchant sold $/£570 worth of items and the band gets 70% then the band will get $/£399 and the rest will go to the merchant to upgrade his shop or buy more items to sell .

8. A concert promoter is in charge of putting together concerts and much more, the need to be able to find the money needed to promote the concert by earning money or investing in their own. The promoter will need to manage what city the concert is held in, what type of venue will be used and how many shows will be promoted . For a promoter the most important thing to do is create a starting budget. This is because they need the funds to promote a show however if they didn’t have enough they wouldn’t be able to generate enough enthusiasm for the show and without it the promoter is to likely to lose money. Its better for a promoter to plan over budget and allow extra resources in case something does not go as planned, because the starting budget can be revised after negotiations have taken place.

Depending on the venue the promoter may be responsible for hiring other staff such as stage managers, security guards, lighting and sounding technicians and a stage crew. On the night of the concert the promoters will normally meet with the acts managers or roadie to pay the act any money that had not been paid before with the contract for playing in the concert.

10. A tour manager is an individual that helps organize the schedule of an artist or band in terms of where and when they will be playing. They will also be in charge of making sure the tour is organized and not travelling to unnecessary places when touring, They book the accommodations, transport, equipment and crew that will be involved with the tour. A tour manager will act as an accountant producing budgets and they also travel with the band on the road and take care of any problems that may happen. tour managers are usually used to book large tours and the roadie would book small ones, this is to ensure less complication and make the job a little bit easier for them.

Tour managers usually work alone on a tour by tour basis however if they need/needed for assistance then we they will work with others, people like booking manager and concert promoter are the two main types of people he will work with to be able to sell tickets and promote the concert as well as book the tour for the band. The most important people a tour manger will work with is the roadie and manager of the band.

12. roadies Also known as a road crew are technicians who travel with a band on tour who handle almost every part of concert production. They also help out when setting up and packing away at gigs. A roadies activities consist of thing such as lifting and carrying equipment and sets to setting up pyrotechnics(fireworks and laser displays). roadies aren’t usually noticed during a gig however they are the reason the gig is happening and wouldn’t be there if not. However roadies are usually used and abused by women to get backstage passes to view the band, which will eventually lead to depression and start defying the band.

14. a sound engineer is really important because when a bands is gigging they set up the sound and make sure it goes all well. They don’t let any interference mess with the sound and will add effects to each instrument when needed, because of this sound engineer is a really important role and that every band needs, which is a huge benefit for a sound engineer, because they will have no trouble trying to find a band as they will find him.

15. A light engineer is another important part of a live performance because they set up the lighting so that the audience can see who's playing and the performers can see what hey are doing when on stage, A light roadie isn't as important as a sound roadie however without one it will be difficult to see anything. Therefore pretty dull. A light engineer are usually the more creative of the roadies as they can create light effects such as these

This is a bad contract because there is not enough information and isn't specific enough

20. 2 bad contract example's
I have not found any bad contracts because those that have used a bad contract will hide it with all their power so that the public does’nt find out about it.
Bad music contracts are uncommon nowadays but they still exist. A manager will usually target young, desperate or naive musicians looking for a contract . Generally because they are the weakest pray and easier to target . If the young band signs the contract without going over it with a lawyer because they are to desperate or naive to do so then they are going to end up in a really big problem. They will be unable to cancel the contract and cant leave until the deadline, which can be anything the manager put on the contract.
This is why its really important to check contracts by giving to a lawyer or just scanning it with other band members and note any questions when u revise the meeting with the band manager. Don't just sign or scan their and then make sure you take it with you for a day or two and then meet up and take most if the last meeting to ask questions about it, so you can understand it more.
