I am a music club and a bar.
Some Wee Notes For Folks That've Never Played J&P's Before:
1.) All night shows are 21 & up. No exceptions. No ledgerdemain will be tolerated.
2.) Excepting Saturday & Sunday day or a rare occasion, There Is No Guarantee. You set the door. You keep all the money from admissions. You enjoy your 1/2 price pitchers of beer. Merriment is made, music is played and whining ist verboten.
3.) If you are booked and must cancel, please try to do so as soon as possible so that we may endeavour to procure alternative means of entertainment.
4.) We have a PA and our board is pretty intuitive. Bands are responsible for their own sound.
The house system consists of:
Mackie 1604VLZPRO 16 channel board
Alesis Midiverb II
Wharfedale Pro WPG315 EQ
DBX 266XL Compressor
(2) Mackie SA1532 Mains
(2) Vidsonix PD-S126M Monitors
We can arrange to have a sound man present, but the band is responsible for his compensation (he's pretty flexible).
5.) Load In/Load Out- We have a small parking lot behind the venue for staff and performers- parking is on a first-come, first serve basis. Evening band are advised not to arrive for load-in until 7:30, especially on weekends. The staff shift change is 7:00- this prevents unnecessary shuffling of vehicles in the lot and increases your chances of actually being able to park here. We request all weekend day performers to load out by 6:30.
6.) If you are scheduled to play and would like to have a song featured on this site, please let us know.
7.) Send all physical demos, flyers, etc. to:
John & Peter's Place
ATTN: Jessica or Garland
96 South Main Street
New Hope, PA 18938.
In addition, all press kits (please use black & white photos) should also be sent to our publicist:
Robin Larsen
4 Runnemede
New Hope, PA 18938.
8.) Try not to piss by the walk-in.
