Opposite of Robot gigs take place at the YORKSHIRE HOUSE ***, Parliament Street, Lancaster, North-West of England. One of the best venues of it's kind in the UK. OoR was established March 2008.
Some of the gigs are for charity, OXJAM, Lancaster Homeless Action, Animal Care and Lancaster & District Women's Aid being the recipients. Otherwise, the proceeds are split between the performers, unless it's a big ol' out-of-town band that demand the whole lot!
*** We also do some programming for the CONTINENTAL in Preston - we have had Steffan Basho-Jungens and Dean McPhee (November 09), plus Schwervon and the Lovely Eggs coming up on Monday 7th December 2009.

Please consider the music on the this page carefully before asking for a gig. You also stand a better chance of getting a gig by supporting the other gigs, we can all help eachother out that way. Man. One of the reasons of doing this was to try and help the local music community come together - if musicians only turn up when they're playing, it negates the whole point...
If you're putting a tour together, please allow us at least 2 months notice, otherwise it's unlikely the date you want is available...Thanks

shame, there's only one song on there. Quite nice. Perhaps he's the Scottish Sam And The Plants? Would love to play Opposite Of Robot again sometime in the new year if possible? Let me know of any possible dates. I love coming to Lancaster so any excuse to get down
