The latest news from GigSmart So whats happening?

So the GigSmart gigs are back ....?

Potentially looking to do about 5-6 decently organised gigs with bands who want towork towards doing something a litter bigger than the "run of the mill" effort. These will be bands who have singles , Ep's albums either complete or in process, the gig should help in the promotion of these for the bands themselves.

Its back to the basics of what made GigSmart gigs good in the first instance.

• Pulling together and having a great laugh in the process
• Sharing the responsibility to promote and organise a successful night.
• Using a bit of common sense (i.e not playing a ton of dates close to or after the GS night)
• Ensuring a quality backline.
• Ensuring GOOD STANDARD of band. Fortunately or unfortunately we will be the judge of this by listening to your recorded stuff and / or going to your gigs.
• Ensuring any rewards of the gig are distributed to those who have made an effort, be these financial or promotional rewards.

Past participation in GigSmart is not essential but understanding that you are working to help promote the other bands you share the stage with is.

Finally and most importantly, this will be run and coordinated through GS and run within GS terms and conditions, i.e those described above, a rather retracted call for bands but past experience neccesitates me spelling it all out. back to the basics of what made GigSmart gigs good in the first instance.
