Music and performance

The gig booked, the stage plotted, the set played and the show reported.

A performance is a logistics exercise wearing better clothes: who is on, what goes where, what was agreed and what actually happened. These are the sheets that carry it, from a rehearsal room to a get-out. Fees, splits and timings are always the reader's own.

Run the night from one sheet: who is on next, what to plug in before they get there, and who takes the slot if someone does not show.

MU-23 1 page
