Rusty Promotions

About Me

What started out as helping out a few friends bands with their promotion over the last five years has developed into a positive cultural development project.
Due to the usual lack of venues in developing cities an initiative was started to make temporary venues, club nights, acoustic nights and festivals (Parklifefest.co.uk) showcasing the bedroom players.
Rusty Promotions is a profit free organisation that, as well as providing performance spaces, works by building the gap between grass roots and professional level arts.
This is achieved by developing media services, gig swaps, demo production (work with local studios and new artists), council and library crosslink projects, outdoor event consultation, arts installations, science projects and band promotion workshops.
Rusty works to make artists and cultural organisations realise that they are working towards similar aims and that collaboration can put power back in the hands of those that create it!
