The Venues section of The Unsigned Guide is brimming with contact details for gig venues across the UK that regularly play host to live music, unsigned band nights, open mic events and showcases. You can filter & browse them by region, city or by venue capacity if you’re looking to book intimate gigs, larger stages, not to mention everything in-between.
A Venues listing in The Unsigned Guide will tell you how regularly the venue hosts live music & gigs, whether there is in-house PA, lighting & engineers, plus details of any particular genres of music they specialise in. You’ll also find info about how each booking contact at the venue prefers to receive demos so you can be sure you’re making the right first impression.
Live performance is one of the most important aspects of any music career and there’s no doubt that practice makes perfect! However, expanding your knowledge about the economics of the people that put on your gigs, tips to build your fanbase and audience, and learning more about the services that a reputable sound engineer can offer will also help massively. Our Advice hub is full of practical advice provided by the likes of Musicians’ Union, BBC Introducing and other experienced promoters & booking contacts to make sure your live gigs are an unforgettable experience.
