Bands wanting gigs
We get asked by about 10 bands a day wanting to play at our venue. Obviously, we will never be able to put on all of those bands so to be considered for a show please send your demo, E.P. album, press pack etc to:
Greg Ackerley
The Engine Room
5 Preston Street
Brighton
BN1 2HX
All CD's will be listened to and if you are considered good enough, your details will be forward to all appropriate promoters. Please be warned. There is a lot of competition for gig slots in Brighton. If you aren't known and don't bring anyone in to see you it is unlikely that you will get paid much and you will be on first. If after reading this you still want to play then do send us a CD, making sure that you give us your contact details but leave it at that. If you are going to be one of the lucky few that gets a gig, don't ruin your chances by sending annoying messages asking when you will get a slot. We are too busy to help everyone.
Patience is a virtue!
