bassbaze Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Hello, I am a french bass player and i am looking for some gigs in UK for my combo (take a glance to [url="http://www.myspace.com/kalognouma"]Kalognouma afro Funk Band[/url]). It's an afro-funk band from Paris. First, i don't know if there is some audience for this style of music in Uk. Then, i ignored the tyîcal procedures to get some gigs. If some people could give me some informations (concert hall adresses for instance...), it would be very Kind. I could give you some tips for gigs in Paris in return ! Best regards ! Yves. PS: sorry for my miserably english expression... Edited September 8, 2007 by bassbaze Quote
Veils Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Hi Yves If you give us some idea of what parts of the UK you wish to play in and I am sure people would be able to help Quote

bassbaze Posted September 8, 2007 Author Posted September 8, 2007 We could begin our tour by a gig in your bathroom ? Quote

OldGit Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Tal k to The Funk on this forum. He plays that sort of music in London... Quote
OldGit Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 You could approach The Fiddlers in Bristol (150K West of London) Same sort of thing but a nice venue - they don't guarentee an audience but they do have a fairly open approach to the bands they book ...

Musky Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 My knowledge of the funk scene - let alone afro funk - is pretty much zero, but you could try Spitz in Commercial St. E1 [url="http://www.spitz.co.uk/"]http://www.spitz.co.uk/[/url] They're about to move, but are looking for a new venue. Jagz just outside London could be worth contacting as well. [url="http://www.jagz.co.uk/"]http://www.jagz.co.uk/[/url] Quote
bassbaze Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Thank you very much. I contact them. Waiting for some news now... Quote
