  Track 48: Worth It Or Not?

  Sep 9, 202634 minS1

  GIG & TELL ️ | Worth It or Not? How much is a great gig experience actually worth? In this episode of Gig & Tell, we’re putting some of the biggest decisions, experiences and expenses in the world of live music under the microscope and asking the ultimate question: IS IT WORTH IT… OR NOT? Is queueing for hours to get barrier really worth the spot you get in the end? Is a VIP ticket worth the extra money? And what about support acts — are they an essential part of the gig experience or just something you have to sit through before the main event? We’re weighing up the money, time, energy and effort that goes into different parts of gig-going and sharing our honest opinions on where we think it’s worth splashing out… and where you might as well save your money. There’ll be strong opinions, questionable decisions and plenty of “I would NEVER do that” moments. But what do you think? What’s absolutely worth it at a gig — and what’s completely overrated? Watch/listen now and let us know your verdict! #GigAndTell #GigAndTellPodcast #Podcast #MusicPodcast #LiveMusic #GigLife #Gigging #Concerts #ConcertLife #LiveMusicFans #MusicFans #VIPTickets #SupportActs #Barrier #GigTips #ConcertTips #WorthItOrNot #UnpopularOpinions #GigStories #LiveMusicPodcast

  Track 47: This Song Is So Overplayed

  Sep 2, 202636 minS1

  GIG & TELL ️ | Overplayed Songs — Are We Sick of Them Yet? We’re tackling one of the most controversial topics in live music: OVERPLAYED SONGS! You know the ones… the songs that seem to appear on every gig setlist, every wedding playlist and every pub dance floor. But are they overplayed for a reason, or is it time to give them a rest? In this episode of Gig & Tell, we’re debating whether those tried-and-tested crowd-pleasers still deserve a place in a live set — and revealing the songs WE think are seriously overplayed. Expect strong opinions, plenty of gig stories, and a few very unpopular opinions along the way. But do you agree with us? Or have we just offended your favourite song? Listen/watch now and let us know: What song do YOU think is overplayed? #GigAndTell #GigAndTellPodcast #Podcast #MusicPodcast #LiveMusic #LiveMusicPodcast #Gigging #GigLife #Musicians #MusicianLife #BandLife #WeddingBand #PubGigs #Setlist #OverplayedSongs #MusicOpinions #UnpopularOpinions #LiveBand #GigStories

  Aug 19, 202640 min

  Should artists evolve with every album, or should they stick to the sound that made fans fall in love with them?In this episode of Gig & Tell, we dive into one of music's biggest debates: Should artists change their music or keep the same sound? We discuss whether experimenting with new styles keeps music fresh or risks alienating loyal fans, and whether there's a balance between artistic growth and staying true to your identity.From bands that completely reinvent themselves to artists who have built their careers on a signature sound, we share our thoughts, favourite examples, and ask the question: Can you ever please everyone? We'd love to hear your opinion! Do you prefer artists to evolve with every release, or do you want them to stay true to the sound you know and love?
