GIGGING TERMS & CONDITIONS Apr 2014
PLEASE READ - YES I KNOW IT'S A BIT LONG WINDED BUT TRUST ME, IT'S ALL RELEVANT AND IMPORTANT
Terms & Conditions;
£5 entry. You get £3 per person you bring
i.e 11 people = £33
20 PEOPLE = £60
10 or less = no payment
YOU MUST BRING AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE REGARDLESS.
STRICTLY OVER 18's (INCLUDING BAND MEMBERS & PEOPLE ATTENDING)
NO LONDON gigs 2 weeks either side of your gig date
DO NOT bring your own alcohol into the venue. If you do, you will be asked to leave whether you are due to perform or not!
We are musicians who run and own this venue, so we are fully aware that it is sometimes difficult to get lots of people to come out and support you at every gig you do. This is why we are realistic about the number of fans we ask you to bring (unlike almost all other London venues)!
HOWEVER... It is imperative you bring the minimum amount of people at least. If bands do not bring people to watch them, it is not a gig, it is a rehearsal! We are not a rehearsal studio! If no-one is at the venue to buy drinks, the overheads cannot be paid and eventually the venue will shut down and become a block of flats!
**EXTREMELY IMPORTANT **
BANDS THAT TURN UP WITH LESS THAN 10 PEOPLE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY!
A & R representatives attending the venue appreciate bands with a good following. Although we are all aware of the demise of the industry, we still host many representatives from all types of labels, along with PR and media personnel.
THE VENUE WILL PROMOTE AND ADVERTISE the gig.
BANDS MUST SELF PROMOTE.
Working together we can all make the whole event a huge success!
EQUIPMENT
I will email or call you about the back line a few days before the gig and pass on the other bands' contact details so you can sort out any sharing of amps between yourselves. Essentially bands need to bring or share ALL amps/cabs as none are available at the venue.
We have an in-house drum kit. Drummers need to bring breakables (snare and cymbals), and clutch. We also offer drummers the opportunity to warm up in a fully kitted sound proofed drum booth, before they go on stage!!
Full tech spec of our equipment is available on the Fiddler's Elbow website.
There is a BAND ROOM situated through the Black & White Bar. Please ask staff for access and they will gladly show you where it is. (The venue cannot be responsible for loss, theft or damage to any equipment or personal belongings, leave at your own risk!)
EXCELLENT QUALITY LIVE RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE AT THE VENUE - AUDIO AND VIDEO. Please email Vas at bdrum81@gmail.com for more details. Click on the following link to view examples of existing recordings...

Please advertise this gig as much as possible and bring people to make it a worthwhile and exciting evening for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you play on the night, it's going to be great! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
