About Me

Welcome to:
KONG Promotions is - Sim, John and Claire.
KONG likes music.
KONG started as a benevolent organisation. However, late in 2007 we became evil, heartless capitalists... though we still like to think that we retain our moral validity through the workings of our sister companies, Soultrader Management and Brighton based Central Booking and Press.
KONG Promotes at these venues in Brighton:
Komedia
The Coalition
The Hope
KONG has also promoted Brighton shows at The Ocean Rooms, The Cricketers, The Victory, The Cella, East Slope Bar, The Joogleberry Playhouse, The Marlborough Theatre, Hectors House, The Pav Tav, The Engine Rooms and The Freebutt.
KONG has also been known to promote in Winchester (the Railway), Bristol (the AR2 Bar, Joe Publics), London (the Pleasure Unit, the Hope and Anchor, the Rock Garden), Southampton (Unit 22) and Eastbourne (the Funktion Rooms).
***
KONG Promotions has a strong working relationship with Militant Entertainment (London), Redhot Promotions (Brighton) and Kungfu Media (London).
***
KONG is proud to associate with SOAP: Design & Photography.
***
KONG is a big red gorilla. Kong say rawwww.

My Interests
