About Me
Welcome to GigEvent on MySpace!
It's been over a year since we first got together, and what started off as essentially a web project (an idea to create a gig-guide / MySpace style networking facility and marketing tool, directed at the Irish music and entertainment industry, which would allow fans, artistes and industry professionals to keep tabs on each other) has turned into something we didn't really envisage at the time.
As others took on board the same goal to varying degrees, we found ourselves being approached by music lovers, venues, promoters and performers, looking for help, advice and a fresh, friendly and personal alternative to what was on offer to them. So what you have now is what you guys have made us...!
We are now happily running showcase gigs, regular and one off events, and promoting all styles of live music covering Reggae (check out our weekly Saturday night live Reggae party at the Hop-House, Seoul Vibration...), Rock, Indie, Punk, Hip-Hop...you name it...
Another side of GigEvent (that we never set out to develop, but has become a large part of what we do) is Artiste management and development, and we are genuinely delighted to to be working with, amongst others, rising stars such as SnowDial, Taliwah, Erik Noon & Txaranga Sound System, and Mendoza. There is plenty more going on behind the scenes, and we have a few surprises up our sleeves, so keep watching...
New developments see us working with promoters like Human Music and Ruby Promotions, taking on booking duties for some new acts, and for the reggae community there is a web project which will be launching at Halloween so watch out for it...
We still hold on to our original values and goals, which are to promote and uphold the cause of live music.
To everybody who has helped us over the past few, sometimes difficult months (and you know who you are...), and to everybody we have worked with, we would like to say a huge thank you.
Cheers & Jah Bless!
