Hello my name is Owen Drew and I run the HDP GROUP. The name not only covers the booking agency but also HOMELESS DRUMMER PUBLISHING and HD FOR HIRE.
HDP GROUP - The group came to be in the beginning on 2008 when I was asked by a band to help them book one or two shows in the UK for a tour. I already ranSLWC PROMOTIONS which was set up by myself and Ben Auston.
Both of us played in the HOT ROCKET TRIO and SLWC Promotions gave us the chance to put some of the best local acts from south west London and great undergroud acts from the London punk scene with larger touring bands who came to town to help raise their profiles.
As always happens with a small idea......... IT GROWS!
It went from a few shows to the entire UK and then 2 weeks in Europe! It went so well I decided to to build on it and here we are today.
CALLING ALL PROMOTORS in the UK and Europe no matter how big or small. The aim is to get the best possible shows for the bands I represent allowing them to get their music out to the masses so please get in contact if you you would like them to play for you.
CALLING ALL BANDS - There are so many great acts in the UK that may never be discovered by a large percentage of the population. I by no means can manage to sort this situation on my own but i'm always interested in discovering new bands I think sound great and would like to help go further.
