About me:

Colour: Unique and intimate live music events based in the West Midlands, showcasing boundary-defying left-field and independent artists. We aim to offer an inviting and experience set apart from the usual gig, so expect live visuals, homemade cakes and DJ sets that compliment what's going on.

Since 2006 Colour has grown from a club night at Quadrant Lounge, Wolverhampton and summer residency at Light House media centre in 2008 to regular events at The Victoria in Birmingham and contributions to events including Flip Animation Festival and Flatpack Film Festival 2009.

WeAreColour.com is our online home, featuring information about what we're up to and passionate outpourings about the music and culture we love.

Musicians

Interested in playing at one of our events and think you'd suit what we do? Please drop us an email with links to your recordings/videos/website. There are many reasons to get involved:

  • We're experienced at promoting and marketing unique events that have a concept behind them. You won't find us putting on bands just to pull in a renta-crowd and we always use atmospheric, welcoming venues.
  • Our promotion has depth to it and embraces printed material, the press and online social media. We have a good understanding of the music culture we're a part of and are enthusiastic about live music in the region.
  • There's a sense of community to each night, with everyone working hard to make sure it's a fun night for all involved.
  • We always try to build relationships with our artists and will feature future endeavours on our site and work with musicians on future events.
  • There are usually a wealth of high-quality photographs and videos taken at an event which we're happy for our artists to use in future.

Contact

For general enquiries, booking or press, please email colourpromo[at]gmail[dot]com. We also accept CDs /MP3s for possible review on the site.
