Booking Information
This column is just to make my life easier for bands and artists about shows and gigs they've booked with Insangel, what to and what not to expect. Everything below is agreed to when accepting the show, failure to work within these guidelines without prior notice could result in cancelled shows or no future bookings, It's important for the future of the shows that we all work together to achieve the best nights possible.
General Rules (applicable To All Shows.)
- With regards to sharing or borrowing other bands equipment, this must be sorted prior to the gig, bands must not just arrive and expect to use other bands equipment without arranging first, any problems and the offending band may not be able to play, please keep an eye on the listings on this site and find out who else it is your playing with and i'm sure you can find them on here to sort the arrangements, any problems give me a shout..I advise that on accepting a gig you're able to be able to bring everything you need and to be willing to share if needed.
- It's extremely important for the sake of future events that bands booked to play don't play in the same city and definately not the same venue at least 10 days to 2 weeks either side of the booking (depending on the size and importance of the show, this could rize), this just halves your potential turn out at each show and brings the quality of shows down, other promoters will respect the fact you can't play a show for this reason rather than overplay and effect the show in question. Should a show arise that you feel is a 'must do' then by all means take it, but please inform Insangel and discuss the alternative options available.
- All shows are at bars/venues which operate 18+ policy unless otherwise stated, so bands aged 18+ are obviously preffered to be able to attract attendance that spend at the bar (it's all the venues are interested in at the end of the day!)
Basic Gig Rules ...
(don't Like Em? Don't Get In Touch!)
Each show is Individual depending on the needs of the headlining artist, but general rules of thumb are as follows, again all open for personalisation and discussion to get the best out of the show in hand.
- Bands must be able and willing to bring the whole of there own backline to the venue.
- Bands must be willing to sell tickets, by buying them at a discounted price to sell for profit which will act as their payment. Or unless prior agreed hapy to work on a door deal basis - £1 a head for people in to see them after 10 paying customers / £2 a head for people in to see them after 20 paying customers.. eg 25 people = £50 / 9 or less people = £0..
- Bands must focus on the show as there main priority and not overplay in the area leading up to the show, at least 3-4 weeks either side of the event.
- Bands must make as much of an effort to make the show booked with Insangel a priority, for the development and success of us as band bookers/promoters.
- Guestlist is restricted to 1 guest per band member and includes anyone not in the band itself (roadies, girlfriends, parents, drivers etc).
