Please don't send your CDs. We listen to your stuff on myspace and will contact you if we think we can do something!
We are usually unable to book small bands even if we like them. We can only book bands that would create enough interest to get people in the venue. - We are a 600 capacity venue and we are on the outskirts of town - so we don't get passing trade - people come here specifically to see a band they have heard about & want to see - so all bookings need pulling power!
We get hundreds of demos sent to us that we can't do anything with, even if they sound great!
If you are trying to break in to Southampton, it may be worth trying some of the smaller capacity (but excellent) venues first. A couple are listed below:
The Joiners (Indie...),
Long Live Rock & Roll (Indie...),
The Soul Cellar (Soul-Funk-Hip-Hop...),
The Talking Heads (Eclectic Mix - & any of the above...).
The Platform Tavern (Jazz/Blues/Singer-Songwriter...)
The Saint Radio Station (Great local Radio - into new music...)
A good list of local venues can be found here courtesy of Southscene. If you do contact any of these venues, please let them know that you found them via us. - Thanks
You can listen to some of the music of bands that have requested friendship, but have not yet been booked, below.
