After 2 years of independent promoting, I got the job of in-house booker - only to quit after 6 weeks, because the venue is an utter shambles. They refuse to listen to new ideas, rather attempt to live on past glories.. <br />The manager is only interested in bands that do "flyer" deals - they don't promote gigs, no posters/flyers - they have no clue how to compete with the ruby lounge/deaf institute. They treat bands like shit. I actually booked the Standard Fare gig (by all accounts a band getting a lot of press) Night & Day did nothing to promote it. Check the myspace/facebook, its not been updated in months. <br />It was obvious I wanted to take the venue in a new direction.. and they weren't interested. Can't see it changing..Phillnoreply@blogger.com
