Booking Gigs at The Brewery Tap

IF YOU ARE A BAND
FIRSTLY ENSURE YOU HAVE PRACTICED ABOUT THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS YOU THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE. Then, when you think your ready send us a Demo CD, or send us link to your myspace page, using our contact form – so we get some idea of how good or bad you sound – even if the demo is a bit rough around the edges! Also send along as much info about the band that you can lay your hands on……. We need to know your style of music, a bit about the band members and their history if any. Tell us where you've played, where your going to play, how long you've been together as a band, do you have a website, do you have any fans at all (apart from your family and friends). We feature all styles of bands and music, so don't hold back.

We have separate deals for bands and promoters, and then also a choice of deals for bands depending on their fan base (so that even bands with a very limited fan base or an uncertain base can still play – as everyone has to start somewhere). Bands can choose the payment contract that suits them. Some contracts pay from person number one that you bring, some don't, but obviously work out much more viable if you have a large fan base. All fans are recorded against the band they have come to see and payment to bands is made on the night they perform. So if you would like to play the venue or have bands waiting for gigs contact us at using the contact form on this website

We are currently looking for bands/promoters to fill slots throughout the year. We put on bands every Friday and Saturday night and have slots available. REMEMBER: We are a Live Music Venue and a pub that has a regular crowd! If the locals here don't know who the bands are they are not likely to come and see them. If a night isn't promoted properly (which includes flyers, e-mailing people and generally pestering people until they say they'll support you ,then pester them a bit more just to make sure) Then it will generally be a total waste of time for all concerned. Nobody, especially us wants this to happen. So please don't waste our time and yours by booking bands and then just presuming everyone is going to turn up! ..........................................THEY WON'T!

Be a little patient with us though – we get heaps of demos and it sometimes takes us awhile to get around to them all, but we will contact you.
