ROConnell Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 [quote name='Niall6002' timestamp='1480530820' post='3185174'] Hi all, some advice needed, friends of mine who are a young original band would like to break into the Uk university gigging scene, does anyone have any advice or contacts, the band is called Cider wasps, and they are not too shabby, [url="https://youtu.be/P7SPSBRhcFA"]https://youtu.be/P7SPSBRhcFA[/url] [/quote] Nice. I'd join the Unsigned Guide and get the student union contacts for uni's from their live listings section. Really good, only £4.99 a month and has sorted me out with endless contacts for promoters, radios, press etc which is really handy for someone like myself in a young originals band.

Zombie1965 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) You can go direct but its alot of work. I have done it a few times though.

In some uni's the venue is controlled/ run by an independent promoter, you might need their details too. Don't expect much money for the evening, but it will be good for networking. On one occasion I booked the student venue on campus and put on an evening of bands. Edited January 12, 2017 by Zombie1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
