Are you looking to form a new band or worship music project? This might just be the time to put planning into practise and get out there and find yourself some like-minded individuals to form a new musical adventure.

Always choose people who you get along with! This may seem like an obvious thing to say but if your new band is going to be any sort of success then you are going to have to spend a lot of time with these people. Try to gauge whether or not you like the same books, tv shows and movies. Talk about music that you like, not just the material that you want to play but just whatever you are in to.

Make sure your musical ideas match. There is nothing worse than a heavy metal fan playing bass in a folk band, which he clearly hates, just because he has always been in bands and that is his hobby. It’s worth taking a long time to find the right people to partner up with. A good band is going to take a couple of years to really get going so taking a year or so to recruit the right musicians is not a long time relatively.

Ensure that your ambitions match. People play in bands for a variety of different reasons, for some its just a pass-time, but for others it is a very serious endeavour. Try to make sure that your ambitions are aligned and you know what everyone wants to get out of the project.

Get some gigs! Speak to your church as a first port of call as they are always willing to promote local live music. Another option is to put on a concert on your own, just hire a venue and do some promotion. A new band with four members has a lot of friends and family members to get down to fill up the audience! Have a look at How to Get Gigs for some more tip on getting more gigs. A concert by even a half finished band might just be the calling card needed to find that extra member you are looking for.

Post on noticeboards. It really is the old fashioned way but it’s definitely effective. So many musicians read those boards in rehearsal studios and concert venues, you are guaranteed to reach someone who knows someone who fits your requirements.

Gospel musicians the world have asked themselves many a time to consider whether or not to participate in non-worship-based activities. Time is precious for everyone so we should almost certainly confine our time to Christian pursuits. If, for example, you have five hours free from work every day then shouldn’t you spend that time half relaxing/resting/eating and half on worship activities? What is to say that an amount of time spent with a gospel group is better than the same amount of time sitting around procrastinating at home. That is the strong question I suppose but anyway, back to the main subject of Christian Music in the UK. We definitely think that more need to be done to promote sacred music in our fair country at the moment. Historically, this country has led the way in worship songs so we should certainly be doing more productive endeavours now.

Thanks for spending the time from your day to read our Christian music blog. We can confirm categorically that there will be more interesting (not that these aren’t interesting) posts on here really soon, so do check back periodically.

The Christian Musician Service is a brand new feature all about helping to connect like-minded, alternative creative projects for sacred or worship ensembles in the UK. Have a look at this Christian Musician for more information. With the help of some local churches and friends any new project should be really easy to get off the ground in our opinion.

Our Christian Music Blog is really taking off now with lots of posts and great interjections from our readers. Remember to send a trackback to this if you like what you are reading.
