greengigs is the world's first organization promoting a sustainable and climate friendly approach to oraganizing concerts and music festivals. We educate, entertain and make a difference!!
Our mission and vision:
1. Going beyond carbon neutral. Offsetting the carbon emissions generated the concert itself, as well as any travel by the bands and public or or other related activities.
2. Promoting our concerts through the web and avoid massive leaflets production.
3. Encouraging the use of green energy to power amplifiers and light shows.
4. Pushing the usage of low consumption lighting and plugs during the concerts.
5. Ecouraging the use of public transport to go to concerts.
6. Ensuring all waste is recycled.
Our role is to educate the bands, the public, the music industry about better use of resources and not contributing to global warming. Our main aim to establish a green label for the music industry to ensure a long-term solution and sustainability.

Static Rain is a 2 piece band from the beautiful Yorkshire town of Keighley. Band members Tony Garthwaite and Jacob Barlow formed the band in 2008, driven by a joint passion for both electronic music and retro synths. The music they produce can be described as electronic pop with catchy choruses and memorable riffs that are prominent in all of their songs, making them popular with a very wide audience.
Following their initial success on MySpace, Static Rain continues to build a solid fan base and a strong reputation as a live act. The band is currently looking for gigs from June 09 onwards throughout the whole of the UK.
