We now seeks a number of ‘Live Music Promoters’ interested in organising live music events.

Successful candidates will take on their own nights at a chosen venue, which can be spread to further venues of your choice. Ideally most promoters should work 3 different venues, but again we are flexible with fewer.

Basically you book your own bands (3/4 per night) whatever music taste (as long as its not too heavy i.e. metal / thrash /; techno etc) hip-hop, hard rock, soul, funk, blues, folk, acoustic, indie, jazz, anything / everything else is cool - its totally your creative control.

We will provide you the platform to run your own nights.

Call and brand the night anything you want, do your flyers and tell the world ...

It could be a monthly residency and you can do it on the same day of every month i.e. the 2nd thursday or 3rd wednesday of every month ... so you can begin booking a couple of shows in advance.
