CONTACTING US - Please feel free to message us here or Arthur Tapp on [email protected] (with a link to you profile page). If you are looking for a gig please always include a mobile contact number and check your mail regularly. If you are offered a gig and don't check you mail for 2 weeks and we have no other way of contacting you then this causes us problems. If cancelling a gig ALWAYS contact us by mobile as soon as possible. We can usually rebook a slot but need as much notice as possible. PLEASE don't call us on the phone 7 times a day to chase up a myspace message - if it's marked as read we may be waiting for the right slot to come along.
We have links to all the major booking agents, record companies and national promoters and concentrate mainly on local midlands bands and national / international acts with agency representation. If you are unsigned and from out of town it may be difficult to make a show work in Birmingham.
