Any bands, DJs, solo artists, labels, fellow promoters, managers and anyone else who loves live music as much as we do.
Note to bands/managers:
- If you're looking for a gig, don't message simply saying something like "So wen r u gunna giv us a gig then?" because the answer's going to be "We're not". We get a shedload of those messages and havn't got time to reply to them all or look in to all the bands. Plus, one of Flook now has a day job where the computer he uses won't even play mp3s. How useful. So make it easier on us: Send us a demo/press pack in the post. And include as much info as possible! The address is:
Flook Music
PO Box 56211
London
N4 2UF
- If you're booked to play for us, don't leave it until two days before the show and then pipe up with 'Oh, we don't have any gear, we were just gonna share the other band's stuff". If you havn't got any, contact your mates or other bands to see if you can borrow some for the night. You wouldn't employ a builder if he had no tools, so why should we book a drumkit-less band?
- All these 'rules' make Flook sound like a tosser. We assure you we're not.
