Anyone recommend an agent/manager (Dublin based)

salfordlad

Hi folks, We are a Dublin based band who formed in early 2012.
This year we are hoping to work alongside an agent/manager.

Can anyone here recommend a reliable agent who could work alongside a hard working band?

At present we are preparing for a string of Dublin gigs starting in early March at Whelans music venue.

We are an unsigned band and hope with our annual ideas to work hard and consistently this year in order to get signed where and if possible.

But firstly we are hoping to track down and work alongside an agent that will help us along the way.
We would be open to discussions with regards of appointing an honest and reliable one.

Please if you have any recommendations, drop me a PM here or leave a link in the 'comments to thread section'

Thanks a lot for your time folks.
Cheers.

That's the almost impossible question, unless you have enough cash to pay an agent to work on your behalf, and even then, they probably wont be able to work effectively with you to develop the band in the way that you (the band) are happy to.

Ideally you should get someone (experienced) who believes in the music that you are creating and understands what you are about. Someone who will work with you without payment, and travel your road. But you as a band must cut them in formally with a share of the potential spoils, ie, if your goal is to get signed to a major.

That's my take on it anyways...otherwise go straight to the major A&R folk with what you have to offer and ask for feedback.

At the end of the day, to get signed, you will have to have come up with something pretty special, and have already shown that by gigging, that you have an enthusiastic audience and further potential for the buzz you have already created, to be of commercial interest to a major label.
