    Hi All,

    Prob best off emailing the lads. Or their website is http://www.soundgatemusic.com
    We've gigged with them a few times, they are great guys. They have a variety of types of bands at their shows.

    Good luck

    Sent them an email over a week ago and haven't had a reply...

    Surely they can up front about the details, ie. do people have to sell tickets, how much it normally costs at the door, venues, slots etc etc.

    Just so it's not another scumbag promoter wanting bands to bring along all their friends, play for free and line the pockets of said promoters. Not saying these lads are like that, but there are an awful lot of such scum out there.

    I mean "gigs cost nothing to play" ... I should hope so, we're the ones providing the entertainment.

    Hi,

    It isnt' always possible to front all the details before a gig, however we do provide as much information as is known to us. We've been organizing for over 3 years now with a a proven track record when it comes to running gigs, we are here for the long term.

    We also send some information to the bands directly before a gig rather than post a lot of information about how we run the gigs online as we feel that this information would be used by others to gather information in the wrong way. I am happy to answer your question though and say that there is no ticket requirement for any of the gigs. The venues we have at the moment are Eamonn Dorans and The Sugar Club and we have even taken things one step further and are returning to London next month for our 2nd soundgate gig there after the sucess of the last gig there.

    The gigs cost nothing as in backline and venue hire are covered by us. The bands do not have to hand over any money of any sort. They do get a percentage of the door from every person there on the night to see them play, and every person is asked coming through the door who they are there to see.

    In response to types of acts, solo artists, cover bands and oringal bands are all welcome and we have had lots of covers bands on the gigs!

    I hope this answers your questions, if you have any more, please post!

    Thanks
