Small Gig, Medium Gig, Large Gig.

[madmatt]

I have my own thoughts on what these are, but what about all of you out there?

What do you consider a small, medium, or large gig?

I figure a small is about 20-50 people.
A medium from 50 to 120.
And a large, whew, this is the one that makes me wonder. Some people may consider a large gig arena sized.
I guess I'll just say over 120.

I go more by the size of the room. You could have 100 people at a small gig.

Not that they would be comfortable...

Small to me would be a bar, medium would be more of a club type of place, and large would be at least an auditorium.

Obviously, these place comes in all shapes and sizes as well.

Small gig = less than 100

Medium gig = 100-500

Large gig = 500 or more.

Most bar gigs I consider small gigs. With clubs it somewhat depends on the venue, but I consider these medium for the most part. Festivals, arenas, and stadiums are large gigs.

I go by the function. Small gig is background/dinner music at a restaurant or a cocktail hour where nobody is really listening closely. Medium gig is when you know you'll be listened to by some knowledgeable people, and a large gig is when your band is a "feature", or when people are showing up first and foremost to listen to you.
