About Me

Put It On Promotions is a small, independent concern based in Brighton UK, brought to you in conjunction with Victory Garden Records and Melting Vinyl.
I use this page for business, so forgive the formalities. I've got a Q/A bit below - check it out before mailing as it answers about 95% of questions I get. If you do mail me and I don't get back to you, sorry about that...I don't always have time to plough through all the incoming. I never reply to cut&paste or form letters. Oh, and I heartily encourage spam on my comments board, but I expect the favour back. "Block returned spam, friendship meet sudden end" (old Congolese proverb).
Questions
1. Add request ? 2. Do you have a regular venue/night ? 3. Gig ? 4. Why Not ? 5. Can I send a demo anyhow ? 6. Contact for other promoters ? 7. Favourite colour ? 8. Gig ?
Answers
1. Yeah - appreciated. Hi !! 2. Nope/No 3. Very unlikely. 4. Thousands of bands, only one of me. The maths just don't work out. 5. Your call - but it doesn't mean you're any more likely to get a gig. 6. Check out my friends section, loads of them there. 7. Blue. 8. We've done that one.

My Interests

Well, there's this......and there's also Thommo - who designs all my lovely posters :)
