PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF PERFORMING @ TOS......
1.TOS has a long history and great reputation with the music industry
and has helped to launch the careers of many great artistes, For this reason
it is very much a showcase event and should be the highlight of any tour or
future gigs. for Bands, Acoustic Acts or Solo Performers
2.IF you want to perform your songs to a new audience TOS can put its
facilities and experience at your disposal. All that we ask is that you also
contribute by bringing some of your fan-base so that other acts can also
expose their music and songs to new listeners....
3.BANDS, ACOUSTIC ACTS and other Performers cannot expect their fellow artistes to be responsible for providing an audience.... (IT IS NOT A FREE REHEARSAL)
4.TOS prides itself on providing a very special evening's entertainment.
We supply a great venue with bar and stage, sound system, PA, some instruments
(drums and YAMAHA weighted keyboard), an experienced sound engineer and a stage manager. The outrageously talented KRYTEN CUMMINGS adds her unique polish and style
by hosting the evening....
5.IN addition, we have an in-house professional photographer who takes photos
of your performance that you can download free....
6.TOS IS a non-profit organisation committed to showcasing talented songwriters.
Any profit is reinvested to improve the night....
7.IF you are performing at TOS we expect you to bring as many friends and family to support you on this special night and you will be invited back....
SUPPORT US AND WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU ......PAM AND THE TOS TEAM
