Ok, so I want to do a coffee house gig with my band, what do I need to know?!
Question: Size of the room, area you'd be taking up as stage, how loud you're allowed to turn the amps up (not a problem with classical guitar). If it's ok to charge a cover charge, put out a 'hat' or be paid by the coffee house manager. If you can set out flyers about the band to get future gigs, if you can sell any CD's you've made of your music. If you need a signed contract. If you need a sound engineer to run the equipment (and who's paying him). Times to start, times to stop (how many sets), and where to park so you can load/unload without blocking the customer traffic.
Tape down any cables customers may trip over. Don't blow the eardrums, the cashier needs to hear to take the money at the register.
