About Me


Fastlane Promotions deals in bringing great live music of various genres to your guys, the public. Currently putting on many diverse live music nights at the First Floor club and The Vic Inn in Derby. We aim to allow new and current artists to share their music through the stage and expand their fan base in the process. While providing great live entertainment for people looking to see the latest up and coming bands as well general gig goers.
Numbers and payment policy - BANDS PLEASE READ

Far too many times I have been to a local gig that is set up by a band or a local promoter, only to find the gig has only attracted 20-30 people which most times have left by the end of the night due to the fact that all the people there are only to see the 1 band. Not FAIR is it? - One band does all the hard work of pulling fans while the others relax.

Here at Fastlane Promotions we have a policy that every band we book must sell a minimum of 20 tickets provided by us in advance of the gig. For every ticket you sell you will be paid 50p to £1 for each ticket depedentant on our arrangement.

For more established touring bands this can raise up to £1.50 per a ticket + door split. Again this is depedentant on our arrangement.

The policy is to help to guarantee a good crowd so you not playing to a empty room!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/10/2006
Band Members: FEATURED BAND OF THE MONTH

The Hedrons

Who are they: A four-piece rock band hailing from their native home town of Glasgow signed to independent record label, Measured Records

Why we like them: Two words! “Not manufactured”, too many girl bands these days are. These girls know how to handle there instruments and they do it with such attitude, even better then their male counterparts. With songs like “be my friend” and “I need you” full of energy and attitude, it’s no wonder that these girls make you want to jump around furiously with excitement.
