Musicians Guide to Brides
Today I talk with Anne Roos who is the author of the book Musician’s Guide to Brides How to Make Money Playing Weddings and has a huge amount of experience playing weddings. There are some great tips in the book (and this interview). If you’ve been afraid to play a wedding, this book walks you through the whole process. The tips in the book are great for the music business in general (so if you’re playing clubs, the marketing tips will work for club bookers as much as brides).
Some great points include:
“Showing up late with a great excuse does not equal “on time.”
“It’s all about the bride.”
“Coming up with the right price.”
She has had some fun experiences such as the time someone wanted to hear Chuck Berry’s “My Ding a Ling.” Keep in mind Ann plays the harp.
There are some strange issues with the Audio where Anne occasionally drops out. This was a skype issue, but these wasn’t anything that stopped us from understanding her main point.

Repost? - The original recording of this had an “Edit point”that I forget to edit out. Then my wordpress blog would not let me update the original post with the new mp3 file. The end result? A repost. Sorry for the hassle.

I have recently become familiar with an absolutely lovely Celtic harp musician. Her name is Anne Roos. She has some wonderful CDs that I listen to often. I have downloaded them to my iPod and I carry the CDs in my car. You can find her music on her website at http://tinyurl.com/68xw8rThe name of her website is Celtic Harp Music by Anne Roos
