About Me

PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE US HERE ASKING ABOUT GETTING BOOKED, THANKS. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GETTING A GIG PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE WWW.PLUMMUSIC.COM.

PLEASE DO MESSAGE US IF YOU WANT TO SAY HI AND OTHER NICE THINGS LIKE THAT.
For nearly ten years Plum Music has been promoting the best new music. Initially just putting gigs on at The Water Rats venue in Kings Cross, Plum now promotes gigs in several venues across London - Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, The Betsey Trotwood, Industry Shoreditch, The Slaughtered Lamb, The Legion, Plan B Brixton and Soho Revue Bar, amongst others.
We here at Plum Music are first and foremost music fans, and nothing gets us more excited than receiving a demo from a new band that just blows us away. Acts that we have helped along in the early stages of their careers include Muse, Editors, Keane, Guillemots, Vampire Weekend, Kate Nash, Midlake, The Dears, Reverend and the Makers, Boy Kill Boy, Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs, KT Tunstall, Jack Penate, Jamie T, Jose Gonzales, The Magic Numbers and The Subways to name only a few. We've also put on the odd little club show for not-so-little acts such as Ash, The Hives, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Breeders, Alanis Morrissette, Doves and quite a few more we can't think of at this precise moment.
If you'd like to work with us, don't message us here, please go to www.plummusic.com and read our FAQs first. You'll find plenty of information there about what we get up to and what we're looking for. See you at the show!
