Jigster Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 My band has a gig offer at the Night & Day in Manchester (on a Tuesday night ) - anyone local to the area got any comments on the vibe of the place? Good gig? Quote
Jigster Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 Tuesday nights for an out of town gang? Quote
Wooks79 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Depends who you're on with to be honest, it's on oldham street in the northern quarter and is a very established venue. Probably depending on the local band to pull a crowd though really... What's your band like? Got a link? If im off work When you play I'll pop down... Quote
Jigster Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 cheers for the info - www.facebook.com/motherlessmusic Quote
BigRedX Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Which promoter did you go through? We've been trying to get a gig there without luck so far... Quote
JakeBrownBass Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 It's a nice place. Played there about 10 times this year with various people. The sounds can be very very boomy depending on the engineers. (one of them doesn't have a clue) Whether its busy or not can really depend, it's on a busy street & they don't need a local band to pull in a crowd, its a nice bar with a nice vibe. People will go as long as it's not a stupid price in. @ BRX, With the nature of you band, they'd have to find something similar to put you with because if you don't have people on the same wavelength as you, people will just leave.

Jigster Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks Jake - they asked how many we could bring down - not sure he's clicked yet we're out of town altho I do have some Manchester pals) @BRX - not really any promoter, just e-mailled Nick at Night & day - [email protected] Quote

Generally we prefer to play with bands doing something vaguely similar to us, but TBH we've not really had a problem keeping audiences, even if it's just that they have to stick around to see what Mr Venom is going to do next as he strips down to stockings and panties and is out amongst the audience molesting them...

Michaelg Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Its a nice enough venue but the engineers are a bit hit and miss. Also: don't headline. Edited April 29, 2012 by Michaelg Quote

[/quote] At these sorts of gigs it's not "headlining", it's playing last. Quote
