Yes absolutely its provided me with paid gigs and the payment times have been much quicker than when I had to go through Concur. I am able to forward plan my future gigs as I know I will have the funds in my bank account pretty much the following week, not weeks and weeks after, like it has been in the past with Concur.

@Silvia BluejayFair enough, as mentioned they really work and no other site guaranteed me with paid only gigs. That’s the main thing I care about. I was upfront about signing up after googling for more Greene King gigs. Concur was the real problem and waiting forever to get paid.

I am quite networked within the music industry and many of my friends have signed up to GigRealm and been gigging. The only friend did find it difficult to navigate the site was one that was not very tech-savvy, they were not following the guidelines when uploading images. Having gone from gigging through Concur to GigRealm, has really been a turning point for me. I now get my payments much faster and I am not having to chase my payments or wait for my invoice to be authorised as it is all automated through GigRealm. It feels like a relief not having to jump through hoops like with the previous payment system. Probably worth explaining how it works though as I have had gigs through them a number of times… You simply search for a gig, apply to play, the venue then confirms and an automated invoice and contract are generated. I got a text reminder on the morning to remind me of the details and as soon as I played the venue received an alert to pay me. I know this because I did the standard thing of asking the venue how I get paid to which they said they just received an alert to pay and then clicked the pay button there and then. Payment into my bank the same week which I was shocked at tbh. I will continue to keep using them. They are also apparently rolling out to a number of other pubs as well within Greene King. Some other friends have also heard the same thing so fingers crossed!

I have just been googling Greene King gigs and came across this blog. I wanted to share my current experience with yous. I have started getting my gigs through GigRealm when playing at these pubs which has made things much easier when finding gigs and getting paid. However the only thing I did notice was that GigRealm isn’t in all their pubs yet, but they have been rolling out so it may be worth looking.
