VENUE INFORMATION

There are a number of ways to get a gig at The Riverside that apply to both bands and agents alike, so please read the info below carefully before asking for a gig.
Getting a gig at The Riverside
Direct booking through the venue
The Riverside hosts many different gigs all booked in house taking in many genres of music. We run weekend evening gigs, all day events and sponsored events. We book signed and unsigned bands alike but only those that stand out from the crowd. If you wish to play on one of these gigs email bookings@theriversidebar.co.uk including a link to some music or videos and the date/s you are looking for.
Payment:
If the gig has been booked by us payment to the headliners will be 10% of the bar take and a case of beer and stage water. We cannot pay support bands at this time, unless otherwise agreed at time of booking.
On a ticket event, all bands get a percentage of any ticket sales they make.
Tribute bands:
100% door take deal including a basic food and drink rider. Accomodation can be arranged prior to the show as we have a large band room that sleeps 5. Guarantees may be put in place at the venues discretion.
Promoters and bands wanting to arrange and promote their own gig
The venue can be hired out on any free night to run your own event and you can run your own door taking 100% of the door take. As a venue we will do our utmost to help you promote the night including our own website, local press, poster campaign and invites through Facebook and other live music forums. In return we expect you to make the gig a success by promoting through all available channels, if you need advice just ask. The cost of the venue hire is £50 on a Friday and Saturday and free hire on any other night. For this you will get use of the venue from 6pm (earlier by arrangement), full PA and lights, sound engineer, bar staff and an area set aside to sell your own merchandise. If you have a door charge you will need to have someone available to run the door.
There is a £50 deposit that must be paid to the venue at least one month before the show and this is refundable on the night if the show goes ahead as planeed and agreed.
