Hey guys , im a singer songwriter who is frankly sick of rip of music promoters who make you bring 40 + people or something stupid like that before paying you £1 per person just to play at a crappy venue with bad sound and no kit.
lm starting a night where I hire a venue and get acts to play there - the crucial difference being that the bands get to keep the money they generate from inviting people along.

Here's how it works I hire a venue this should cost between £60 and £100 depending on location etc. get 3 or 4 bands on. Each band pays approx £30 or so to go towards the hire fee and sound guy and drum kit, and after that all money they make from mates is theirs.

Bands charge a fiver on the door so each band only needs to bring 6 people to make a profit. Any extra money from people not there to see any particular band will go back into the night on advertising , promotion etc.

We spread the songs out so you play 2 in the beginning then 3 later in the evening. This saves people just leaving after their mates have played and ensures a fuller venue and better atmosphere for everyone.

As a musician I know that most musicians arent looking to make a mint, we just want a chance to showcase our music without it costing us and our mates a bomb just to hear us play. This night isn't about profit its about building up a good event to allow decent and committed bands to realistically build up a following without some stupid rip off promoter demanding we bring 50 people on a monday night!

all styles of music welcome except heavy heavy rock and metal (sorry!)

if your interested in doing this email me on djmuirhead@gmail.com with your myspace or somewhere I can here your stuff


Cheers

Damian
